The effect of aquatic high-intensity interval training on aerobic performance, strength and body composition in a non-athletic populationIn a non-athletic population, aquatic-high-intensity interval training was safe and may have improved aerobic performance and lower limb strength

Early lung disease in infants and preschool children with cystic fibrosis: What have we learned and what should we do about it?This review summarizes what we have learned about early lung disease in children with CF and discusses the implications for clinical practice and research

Inhaled corticosteroids to improve lung function in children (aged 6–12 years) who were born very preterm (PICSI): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trialDespite the substantial burden of lung disease throughout childhood in children who were born very preterm, there are no evidence-based interventions to improve lung health beyond the neonatal period. We tested the hypothesis that inhaled corticosteroid improves lung function in this population.
Research
The ventilatory response to hypoxia is blunted in some preterm infants during the second year of lifePreterm birth and subsequent neonatal ventilatory treatment disrupts development of the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR). An attenuated HVR has been identified in preterm neonates, however it is unknown whether the attenuation persists into the second year of life.
