Factors affecting maximal oxygen uptake in prepubertal children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: In pre-pubertal children the factors affecting maximal oxygen uptake have yet to be fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of this analysis is to present cardiorespiratory fitness in prepubertal boys and girls and to determine if there are any differences based on sex, exercise testing modality or if maximal or peak oxygen consumption metrics are used. PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines were followed. For statistical analysis, multilevel models grounded in Bayesian principles were used. Selected studies obtained: maximal effort during the test, peak or maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O₂) values, boys and girls (sex specific groups only) age under 11, cycle ergometry or treadmill, pre-intervention or no intervention data.
