Anaerobic performance in 5- to 7-yr-old children of low birthweight
Abstract
PURPOSE: This study was intended to determine whether anaerobic muscle performance is deficient in 5- to 7-yr-old children of extremely low birthweight (ELBW, 500-999 g) and very low birthweight (VLBW, 1000-1499 g).
METHODS: Fourteen ELBW and 20 VLBW children were compared with 24 normal birthweight (NBW, >2500 g) term controls. Peak (PP) and mean (MP) muscle power were determined by the Wingate anaerobic test. Bioimpedance analysis and …
