Can exercise training improve maximal aerobic power (VO sub(2)max) in children: a meta-analytic review

This study was conducted to quantitatively examine the effects of physical training on maximal aerobic power (VO sub(2)max) in children using the meta-analytic technique. In addition, we examined the effects of experimental design, training protocol, gender, age, and testing procedures on the VO sub(2)max of children. Past research used in the analyses were delimited to studies examining the effects of various forms of muscular strength and endurance training in children
