Impact of an Exercise Program for Children Aged 4 to 6 Years With Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a physical activity program for children with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Primary objectives is: to compare exercise tolerance and aerobic capacity between healthy children with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia children Only Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia children will realise the physical activity program. Secondary objectives are: to analyse lung function and to evaluate flexibility.
