Abstract

Background: Co-contraction and spasticity may distort the normal relationship between heart rate and oxygen consumption in cerebral palsy.

Purpose. To compare cardio-respiratory responses to sustained isometric exercise (SET) at 50% of maximal torque between children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) and healthy controls,

Methods. Participants were 10 children with right-sided CP (nine males, one female; age 13
