Eun-Young Lee, Reyana Jayawardena, Seiyeong Park, Justin Y. Jeon, Yeon-Soo Kim, Mark S. Tremblay
Cultivating a 24-hour movement behavioral profile conducive to health and well-being, marked by adequate levels of physical activity, limited screen time, and sufficient sleep, has emerged as an important avenue for promoting pediatric health. We aimed to provide evidence of this potential, this multiphase, multimethod, and integrative review comprehensively investigated the global trends in health promotion initiatives and status of...

The impacts of exercise on pediatric obesity
Ronald J. Headid III, Song-Young Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2021;64(5):196-207.   Published online August 4, 2020
Pediatric obesity contributes to the development of vascular dysfunction and metabolic and cardiovascular diseases which have all been shown to track into adulthood, increasing the risk of early mortality. Early exercise intervention is critical for combating obesity-related comorbidities and the optimal exercise prescription has yet to be well documented. Exercise prescriptions to combat pediatric obesity should incorporate both aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercises with an emphasis on long-term adherence.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2013;56(6):242-246.   Published online June 21, 2013
Purpose

The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is an important clinical tool for evaluating exercise capacity and is frequently used to evaluate chronic conditions including congenital heart disease. However, data on the normal CPET values for Korean children and adolescents are lacking. The aim of this study was to provide reference data for CPET variables in children and adolescents.

Nonpharmacological management and psychosocial support for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes
Jae Ho Yoo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2011;54(2):45-50.   Published online February 28, 2011

Compared to that in the Caucasian population, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) incidence rates are very low in Koreans. Therefore, compared to the recent development of pharmacological therapy applicable to Korean children with T1DM, interest in nonpharmacological therapy and psychosocial support systems remains low, as is the development of Korean-style T1DM education programs for therapeutic application. Children who have been...

Jung Yeon Shim, Byung-Joo Kim, Young Hwa Song, Mi-Jin Kang, So-Yeon Lee, Jinho Yu, Soo-Jong Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(6):680-688.   Published online June 15, 2009
Purpose : Cysteinyl leukotrienes are important proinflammatory mediators in asthma. Recently, it was suggested that a promoter polymorphism in the genes encoding for leukotriene C4 synthase (LTC4S), a key enzyme in the leukotriene synthetic pathway, and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLTR1) might be associated with aspirin-intolerant asthma. We investigated whether polymorphisms in LTC4S and CysLTR1 genes or their interactions were...

Ji Eun Lee, Young Mi Hong, Kyung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(10):1333-1339.   Published online October 15, 1994
Exercise induced asthma(EIA) is defined as acute, reversible, usually self-immiting airway obstruction which develop after strenous exercise in patients with asthma. EIA is a bigger problem in children than adults due to more active and smaller airways which obstruct more easily when bronchospasm develops. The exercise elicited amny change in pulmonary function of asthmatic children. These change could be measured...
Late Asthmatic Responses(LARs) and Consequences on Nonspecific Bronchial Reactivity(NSBR) after Exercise and Allergen Challenges in the Children with Bronchial Asthma
Kyung A Yoon, Young Y. Koh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(7):957-970.   Published online July 15, 1992
Exercise and allergen challenges are the main tools to investigate the bronchial responsiveness in experimentally provoked asthma. It is recognized that LAR, which often follows early asthmatic response(EAR) by 3 to 10 hours after challenge, is more closely related to the basic pathogenetic mechanisms operating in bronchial asthma. Although exercise induces an EAR within the first hour similar to allergen...

This study was performed to investigate delayed bronchoconstriction in 17 extrinsic asthmatic children with exercise induced asthma. Pulmonary function was monitored by PEFR and FEV1 prior to exercise and serially for ten hours after about 8 minutes up and down stairs exercise. Delayed bronchoconstriction was noted in four of seventeen patients (23.5%) at 5∼9hours after exercise and % fall in PEFR...

Hae Jung Park, Mi Jung Kim, Dong Kyu Jin, Hae Il Cheong, Yong Choi, Kwang Wook Ko, Jung Mi Park, Kyung Mo Yeun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(6):863-868.   Published online June 30, 1991
We have experienced one case of acute renal failure without clinical rhabdomyolysis characterized by preceding exercise and back pain. This patient showed patch renal increased uptakes in bone scan with 99mTechnetium-methylene diphosphonate, and delayed wedge-shaped contrast enhancements in renal computed tomography. These findings can be explained by focal renal vasoconstriction of interlobar arteries or arcuate arteries, which may be considered as one of the...
