Description
Children are not mini-adults. They are growing and maturing at their own individual rates and their physiological responses to exercise
are dependent on a large number of variables as they progress through childhood and adolescence into adult life. Understanding has been
limited by the fact that measurement techniques and equipment developed for use with adults are often not appropriate or even ethical
for use with young people. These issues are addressed in this book which provides an analysis of physiological responses to exercise
in relation to age, growth, maturation and sex.
