Prediction of peak V˙O₂in Children and Adolescents With HIV From an Incremental Cycle Ergometer Test

To examine the capacity of physiological variables and performance to predict peak oxygen consumption (peak V˙ O2) in children and adolescents living with HIV.Sixty-five children and adolescents living with HIV (30 boys) aged 8-15 years, participated in the study. Peak V˙ O2 was measured by breath-by-breath respiratory exchange during an incremental cycle ergometer until volitional exhaustion. Information on the time to exhaustion, maximal power...
