Opis

This work aims to reflect research in the area of children and exercise. The main topics addressed include: exercise physiology - growth and development; the effects of exercise on children with conditions such as diabetes, asthma, and cystic fibrosis; aerobic performance; anaerobic performance; muscle strength; and cardiovascular function in health and disease. Based on conference proceedings, this book should be of interest to sports scientists, coaches, physical education teachers and researchers.

The XIXth International Symposium of the European Group of Pediatric Work Physiology was held in Moretonhampstead, UK in September 1997 drawing together academic and medical experts from 26 countries under the theme of promoting health and well-being. This book contains the full text of the 11 keynote contributions, 4 papers from a mini-symposium on cardiac risk factors in children and 59 of the free communications. These have been arranged under 6 headings: Lifestyle, Health and Well-Being; Physical Activity Patterns; Aerobic Performance; Anaerobic Performance and Muscular strength; Cardiovascular Function in Health and disease; and Sport and Physical Education. Offering comprehensive reviews of key topics and reports of current research in paediatric health and exercise science, this volume will prove a valuable text for health professionals, researchers and students with an interest in aspects of paediatric exercise, sports medicine and physical education.
