Physiological determinants of endurance capacity in individuals with cerebral palsy: a narrative review.
Review in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo synthesize evidence on the physiological determinants of endurance capacity in individuals with cerebral palsy.
designNarrative review. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Children and adults with cerebral palsy across the spectrum of motor function (Gross Motor Function Classification System I-V).
methodsRelevant literature on cardiovascular, pulmonary, haematological, and musculoskeletal determinants of endurance capacity in individuals with cerebral palsy was identified and synthesized.
resultsReduced cardiorespiratory fitness is common, with autonomic dysregulation potentially constraining heart rate responses during exercise, while lower oxygen pulse suggests limitations in stroke volume and peripheral oxygen extraction. Restrictive ventilatory patterns, including reduced functional lung volumes, may further impair exercise capacity. High energetic demands during basic movements exacerbate fatigue and reduce engagement in physical activity. Skeletal muscle also exhibits structural and metabolic alterations, including reduced muscle volume, capillary density, and mitochondrial function, impairing oxygen utilization and energy production.
conclusionDespite methodological heterogeneity, evidence consistently indicates that integrated central and peripheral factors constrain endurance capacity, with impairments more pronounced in individuals with greater functional limitations. Adapted training modalities, such as Frame Running, show promise in improving these outcomes. Understanding these physiological determinants is essential for developing individualized interventions to improve function, participation, health, and quality of life in individuals with cerebral palsy.
