Supports swimming training associations with higher youth capacity and diffusion; leaves open causality beyond growth.
Does highly trained competitive swimming improve physical working capacity and pulmonary diffusing capacity in children aged 9 to 17 years compared to untrained counterparts?
Competitive swimming training in children is associated with significant improvements in physical working capacity and pulmonary diffusing capacity beyond normal growth.
