商品簡介
Armstrong (Children's Health and Exercise Research Centre, U. of Exeter, UK) and McManus (Institute of Human Performance, U. of Hong Kong, China) have brought together 11 contributions--a couple of which they wrote together and the majority of which (there are a couple exceptions) are co-written by Armstrong and his colleagues. The chapters survey in detail what is known and not known about the effects of intensive athletic training at various stages of maturation, including risks that should be considered. More specifically, topics addressed include the physiology of young male and female athletes (considered separately), nutrition, endurance training, high-intensity and resistance training, overtraining, exercise testing, temperature regulation, environmental factors prevention of sudden cardiac death, and the etiology and prevention of injuries.
