Safety and efficacy of exercise training in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease: A systematic review and descriptive analysis.

Background: While exercise training is beneficial in the prevention and management of many chronic diseases, the role of exercise training in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease is less understood. We sought to determine the safety and efficacy of exercise training in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease.

Methods: We conducted a systematic search of the following databases: PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, Web of Science and SportDiscus.

Sex-based differences in body core temperature response across repeat work bouts in the heat.

Objective: To investigate the effects of repeated work bouts in the heat on peak body core temperature and to explore sex-based differences in body core temperature responses.

Methods: Fourteen males and fifteen females performed four work bouts (two heavy and two moderate, alternating) in 32.5 °C Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), each separated by 30-min seated rest in 28.
