Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to research, the leading cause of sudden cardiac death during exercise in children and adolescents is due to underlying congenital heart defects. Strokes and blood clots are possible causes of death during exercise but are not as common in young people. The effects of stress can increase the risk of cardiac events but are not a direct cause of death during exercise.
