Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Using Arm Ergometry in Children With Spina Bifida: A Prediction Model for VO2peak

This study aimed to develop a prediction model for peak oxygen uptake ((Equation is included in full-text article.)O2peak) in children with spina bifida (SB), considering peak workload (Wpeak), peak heart rate, age, sex, anthropometric measures, walking level, physical activity level, and level of the lesion.Data of 26 participants with SB performing a graded arm crank test were used to develop the prediction model. An unrelated data set of...
