Abstract

Metabolic disorders are rare, but have interesting and important implications for exercise physiology. The disorders most commonly encountered in the pediatric exercise physiology laboratory can be divided into two categories: mitochondrial defects and glycogen storage diseases. The physiologic consequences of these disorders may be detected during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Complementary data from stress echocardiography, near-infrared spectroscopy, and invasive blood sampling are also helpful.
