- Summary
- "Children's Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, examines not only the current issues that separate children from adults, but also the underlying mechanisms of these differences. You'll learn what makes children different from adults physiologically - such as size, biochemical differences, neuromuscular differences, and lack of sexual and hormonal maturation - and the reasons for these differences. Those involved with young athletes, disease management, and health promotion will gain valuable insight into the physiologic determinants of exercise performance." "This streamlined new edition contains 13 instead of 15 chapters, an introduction, and updated features."--BOOK JACKET.
