Maximal oxygen uptake in trained and untrained 15-year-old boys.

The purpose of this study was to assess maximal aerobic power (VO2max) in trained and untrained 15-year-old boys. The trained subjects (18) were junior swimmers from a Belgrade swimming team, and the untrained ones (12) were from a Belgrade high school. VO2max was directly measured during progressive cycle ergometer exercise using open circuit spirometry. No significant differences in height, m...

Arterial Stiffness in Lower Limb Amputees

BACKGROUND A high carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been related to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but has not been previously evaluated in amputees. The aim of this study was to compare PWV between amputees and nonamputees. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 60 male lower limb amputees and 86 male age-matched nonamputees. PWV was me...

Physiological Determinants of Maximal Aerobic Power in Healthy 12-Year-Old Boys

Little is known regarding the physiological determinants of maximal oxygen uptake (V0,max) in children. A group of 39 healthy sixth-grade boys (mean age, 12.2 years) underwent maximal cycIe testing with determination of cardiovascular factors using Doppler echocardiography as well as standard gas exchange variables. Maximal stroke index was related to VOpax/kg (r = 0.52, p < .05), but no relati...
