Ventilatory anaerobic threshold in healthy children

SummaryThe ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) during graded exercise was defined as the oxygen uptake (

Ventilatory Thresholds as an Estimate of Cardiorespiratory Performance Capacity in Children with Congenital Heart Disease

. Since VAT is considered to be a sensitive and noninvasive measure for evaluating cardiorespiratoy endurance performance, the purpose of the present study was to determine normal values in children. We examined 257 healthy children (140 boys and 117 girls) varying in age from 5.7 to 18.5 years, during treadmill exercise. The data were analyzed in relation to sex and age. In boys the lowest
