Music Pacing in Pediatric Exercise Testing
- Conditions
- Exercise Testing With Music Pacing
- Interventions
- Other: Music listening
- Registration Number
- NCT01576913
- Lead Sponsor
- Sheba Medical Center
- Brief Summary
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.
