In the child with a neuromuscular disease (NMD), one can use exercise for the assessment of physiological function and as a therapeutic modality. Functions most relevant for assessment are muscle strength, muscle endurance, peak mechanical power, and O2 cost of movement. Maximal aerobic power is less important because it seldom is the limiting factor in the child's ability to perform daily physical activities. There are very few well-designed controlled training interventions in children with NMD. There is, however, some evidence to suggest that maximal aerobic power, muscle strength, and O2 cost of locomotion are trainable in children with NMD.
对于患有神经肌肉疾病（NMD）的儿童，可以通过运动来评估生理功能，并将其作为一种治疗方式。与评估最相关的功能包括肌肉力量、肌肉耐力、峰值机械功率和运动的氧气消耗。最大有氧功率不太重要，因为它很少是儿童进行日常体力活动能力的限制因素。针对患有NMD的儿童，设计良好的对照训练干预措施非常少。然而，有一些证据表明，患有NMD的儿童的最大有氧功率、肌肉力量和运动的氧气消耗是可以训练的。
