What the study found
The included studies reported differences in heart-rate variability between children with cerebral palsy and comparison groups. The authors call for further work before using these measures predictively.
Participants and protocol
A systematic review retained six articles concerning autonomic heart-rate regulation in children with cerebral palsy.
What this cannot establish
The population and clinical question differ from adult endurance training. The findings cannot establish an athlete readiness score, recovery target or diagnostic threshold.
