Chronic Diseases, Exercise, and Physical Activity in Childhood: 2016 in Review
11 University Medical Center Utrecht.
Abstract:
In this year's review I want to make a case for exercise and physical activity in children with chronic disease or disability. Using two 2016 papers I will illustrate the infancy of the field, especially children who are wheelchair using. More efforts are needed to develop better methods to measure physical activity and exercise capacity in this population. In addition, effective interventions are needed to stimulate a healthy active lifestyle in children with disability. I sincerely hope that the 2016 review will stimulate other researchers to investigate physical activity and exercise in children with chronic disease and disability.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
