Objective To determine whether patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) have limited
aerobic capacity compared with healthy controls. Methods Fourteen juvenile DM patients …

Objective Juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) is an inflammatory myopathy in which the immune
system targets the microvasculature of the skeletal muscle and skin, leading to significant …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the feasibility of maximum exercise testing in patients with juvenile
dermatomyositis (JDM), characterize the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2peak) of these …

Objective To investigate the short‐term effects of exercise on muscle inflammation in
children with juvenile dermatomyositis (juvenile DM). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Objective To investigate the effects of a supervised exercise training program on health
parameters, physical capacity, and health‐related quality of life in patients with mild and …

Objective. To compare submaximal exercise capacity in patients with juvenile
dermatomyositis (JDM) with controls, and analyze contributions of muscle, heart, and lung …

Objectives To compare cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) expressed as maximal oxygen
uptake (VO2max) between patients with long-term JDM and controls and between patients …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the reliability of an aerobic and an anaerobic exercise test in
patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). METHODS: Sixteen patients with JDM (mean …

Background Patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) often present strong exercise
intolerance and muscle weakness. However, the role of exercise training in this disease has …

A recent study has shown that 36 persons who had recovered from juvenile dermatomyositis
(JDM) have on average an 18% decrease in maximal oxygen uptake. The objective of this …
