Group-based progressive functional, high-intensity training in adolescents and young adults with unilateral cerebral palsy - a tool to improve gross motor function, endurance and gait? - a pilot study.

Purpose: This pilot study assessed the safety and effects of progressive functional high-intensity training in a group setting for adolescents with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) on daily function indicators.

Methods: Nine adolescents (mean age 16.9 years, GMFCS levels I-II) participated in 12 weeks of training (2x/week).

Translating scientific recommendations into reality: a feasibility study using group-based high-intensity functional exercise training in adolescents with cerebral palsy.

Purpose: To examine the feasibility and effects of a functional high-intensity exercise intervention performed in a group-setting on functionality, cardiovascular health and physical performance in adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods: Ten adolescents with a diagnosis of CP (2 females; 16.6 ± 3.
