Comparison of maximal oxygen consumption between black and white prepubertal and pubertal children.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are hydrocarbons that originate within different healthy and diseased tissues. VOCs can be secreted into the circulation and then excreted in the urine and faeces. In the lungs, VOCs are locally produced and can be detected in exhaled breath. VOCs can be identified using non...
