Study Overview
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.

Outcomes
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(exercise test duration, approx.10 minutes)
- anaerobic threshold(exercise test duration, approx.10 minutes)
- rating of perceived exertion(exercise test duration, approx.10 minutes)
- mechanical efficiency(exercise test duration, approx.10 minutes)
- cadence(exercise test duration, approx.10 minutes)
