From the supplier: Meta-analysis was used to study the impact of physical activity, gender, experimental design and sufficiency of exercise on the VO2 of children. Sixty-nine such studies were conducted, 28 of which were employed for the analysis indicating effect sizes (ES) of 0.94 (1.00) and 0.35 (0.82) for cross-sectional (XS) designs and pretest-posttest (PP) designs. Research in PP design studies indicated that the children improved roughly 2 ml kg-1 min-1. Effect sizes were not influenced in any important way. The Vo2 max variations in subjects are minimal to moderate.
