Implication
Provides normative pediatric exercise hemodynamics; leaves open validation for disease states or outcome prediction.
Structured PICO

Population
106 healthy children (55 male, 51 female) aged 8-16.9 years
I
Intervention
Measurement of haemodynamic performance using respiratory mass spectrometry during rest, exercise (bicycling at 25 W x m(-2), increasing every 3 min by 15 W x m(-2) until exhaustion), and recovery
O
Outcome
Haemodynamic parameters including effective pulmonary blood flow, stroke volume, oxygen consumption, arteriovenous oxygen difference, functional residual capacity (FRC), pulmonary capillary blood volume, and transit timesurrogate
This study establishes normal values for haemodynamic parameters in healthy children during rest and exercise using noninvasive respiratory mass spectrometry, highlighting the influence of age, gender, and pubertal stage.
