Music Pacing in Pediatric Exercise Testing
Study hypothesis: Music pacing improves the quality of exercise testing in children.
Children tend to cycle in a non-constant pace during exercise testing, which might make the test less reliable.
20 boys will perform two exercise tests on a cycle ergometer. One test will be done with constant tempoed music, and the other without. Different parameters will be checked including pedaling cadence, aerobic fitness, level of work load obtained.

Primary outcomes
-
peak VO2
Time frame: end of the exercise test, approx.10 minutes
peak Vo2 is the maximal oxygen consumption obtained during the exercise test, reflecting the level of aerobic fintess
Secondary outcomes
-
peak power
Time frame: exercise test duration, approx.10 minutes
maximal power obtained at the end of the exercise test
-
anaerobic threshold
Time frame: exercise test duration, approx.10 minutes
point of increase in anaerobic metabolism
-
rating of perceived exertion
Time frame: exercise test duration, approx.10 minutes
scale of perceived effort
-
mechanical efficiency
Time frame: exercise test duration, approx.10 minutes
oxygen consumption per work load
-
cadence
Time frame: exercise test duration, approx.10 minutes
pedaling rate
