Physical activity level is associated with the O(sub 2) cost of walking in cerebral palsy

Article Abstract:

The relationship between physical activity level (PAL) and oxygen cost of walking as well as peak VO(sub 2) in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) is determined. The results indicate that high oxygen cost of walking may be present in children and adolescents who have low PAL and in these cases PAL may not be associated with their peak VO(sub 2).

Facial cooling enhances exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatic children

Article Abstract:

The effects on bronchial responsiveness (BR) of cold air inhalation and of facial exposure to cold air, as well as the combined effect of both is compared. It was observed with the help of four exercise challenge tests that facial cooling combined with either cold or warm air insulation caused the greatest exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB).

Effects of hyperoxic training on performance and cardiorespiratory response to exercise

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine whether training in a hyperoxic environment would result in greater increases in VO(sub 2max) and performance at 90% VO(sub 2max) as compared with training in normoxia. The results showed that there are no significant differences between pretraining results for any of the parameters.
