ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate exercise capacity in children and adolescents with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans. Data source: This is a systematic review based on data from PubMed, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). We used the following search strategy: “Exercise capacity OR Exercise Test OR Physical fitness OR Functional capacity OR Six-minute walk test OR Shuttle walk test OR Cardiopulmonary exercise test AND Bronchiolitis obliterans.” We selected studies that evaluated exercise capacity through maximal/submaximal testing in children and adolescents with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans, and no other associated disease. We searched articles in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, without restrictions regarding the period of publication. The methodological quality was assessed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) protocol. Data synthesis: Out of the 81 articles found, only 4 were included in this review. The studies totaled 135 participants (121 with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans and 14 healthy), with sample sizes between 14 and 58 subjects. All patients underwent spirometry to evaluate pulmonary function, indicating an obstructive ventilatory pattern. Among them, 3/4 had their physical performance assessed by the six-minute walk test and 2/4 by the cardiopulmonary exercise testing. These test results were compared to those of a control group (1/4) and presented as percentage of predicted and/or in meters (3/4). Lastly, 3/4 of the studies showed reduced exercise capacity in this population. The studies included were classified as having high methodological quality. Conclusions: Findings of the study demonstrate that children and adolescents with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans have reduced exercise capacity.

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) provides oxygen to the exercising muscles and is related to body adiposity, with cardiometabolic variables. The aim was to develop reference values and a predictive model of CRF in Chilean adolescents. A total of 741 adolescents of both genders (15.7 years old) participated in a basic anthropometry, performance in the six-minute walk test (SMWT), and in Course Navette was measured. Percentiles were determined for the SMWT, for the V̇O2max, and an equation was developed to estimate it. The validity of the equation was checked using distribution assumptions and the Bland–Altman diagram. The STATA v.14 program was used (p < 0.05). The 50th percentile values for males and females in the SMWT and in the V̇O2max of Course Navette were, respectively, from 607 to 690 and from 630 to 641 m, and from 43.9 to 45 and from 37.5 to 31.5 mlO2·kg·min−1, for the range of 13 to 17 years. For its part, the model to predict V̇O2max incorporated gender, heart rate, height, waist-to-height ratio (WHR), and distance in the SMWT (R2 = 0.62; estimation error = 0.38 LO2·min−1; p <0.001). Reference values can guide physical fitness in Chilean adolescents, and V̇O2max was possible to predict from morphofunctional variables.
