Die Praxis Der Sportmedizin In Der Kinderheilkunde Paperback

R. Rost

In recent years, scientific research has accumulated a lot of knowledge about the triangular relationship of child - physical stress - health. Nevertheless, little is available of this knowledge in the standard textbooks of paediatrics for clinical use. This book should close the gap that has arisen here. Until the mid-sixties, sports medicine research focused on young adults and middle-aged people. In recent years, on the other hand, there has been a growing interest in the performance physiologist, especially in children and adolescents. An important impetus for this interest was the growing involvement of children in the competitive sports field. Today, children and young athletes are often exposed to training conditions that were not expected of any adult athlete 10 years ago. As a result of this development, today in sports such as gymnastics or swimming are masters and record holders younger than ever before. In other sports, such as Tenis, the peak performance is still not reached until the third decade of life, but systematic training that begins in childhood is also mandatory here. The growing popularity of jogging and other sports leisure activities attracts people of all ages. Just a few years ago, cross-country skiing was completely rejected for children. If a 10-year-old runs a marathon today, it will hardly cause a stir. "
