Aerobic Exercise Training Response in Preterm-Born Young Adults with Elevated Blood Pressure and Stage 1 Hypertension: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT: Rationale: Premature birth is an independent predictor of long-term cardiovascular risk. Individuals affected are reported to have a lower rate of [Formula: see text]o₂ at peak exercise intensity ([Formula: see text]o_2PEAK) and at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold ([Formula: see text]o_2VAT), but little is known about their response to exercise training. Objectives: The primary objective was to determine whether the [Formula: see text]o_2PEAK response to exercise training differed between preterm-born and term-born individuals; the secondary objective was to quantify group differences in [Formula: see text]o_2VAT response. Methods: Fifty-two preterm-born and 151 term-born participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to
