Juliano Colapelle,
Julie St‐Pierre,
Julius Erdstein
et al.

Abstract: BackgroundAdolescents living with obesity (AlwO) can have limited exercise capacity. Exercise capacity can be predicted by a 2‐factor model comprising lung function and leg muscle function, but no study has looked at cycling leg muscle function and its contribution to cycling exercise capacity in AlwO.MethodsTwenty‐two nonobese adolescents and 22 AlwO (BMI > 95 percentile) were studied. Anthropometry, body composition (dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry), spirometry, 30‐s isokinetic work capacity, and maximal… Show more
