- Abstract
There is evidence that the slope of the change in oxygen uptake accompanying changes in work rate (delta VO2/delta W). during moderate incremental exercise is influenced by fitness (peak VO2). We set out to determine whether delta VO2/delta W was related to fitness in a group of healthy children and in children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), a condition associated with decreased peak VO2. We also hypothesized that delta VO2/delta would be significantly decreased in children with JDM compared to healthy children.
