Developmental Exercise Physiology

Part 1 Experimental approach to the exercising child: the process of biological maturation; accounting for size - the biologist's dilemma; exercise testing; body composition; ethical aspects of research with children. Part 2 Physiological responses to exercise: maturation of aerobic fitness; the plasticity of aerobic fitness; response to endurance exercise - cardiovascular system; response to endurance exercise - ventilation; response to endurance exercise - peripheral factors; submaximal energy expenditure; short burst activities and the development of anaerobic fitness; the development of muscular strength; metabolic and endocrine responses to exercise; adaptions to thermal stress.
