Book excerpt: >Measurement in Pediatric Exercise Science> provides a unique combination: standardized lab protocols for assessing anthropometric and physiological attributes in children and complete information on field assessments of pediatric fitness. With this book, researchers and clinicians will find in a single reference everything they need for evaluating pediatric populations.Written by prominent international leaders in the field for the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP), this valuable text describes and critically evaluates a wide range of measurement techniques. In Parts I and II contributors focus on physical and physiological assessment:--Anthropometry-Body composition-Maturation-Anaerobic performance-Aerobic performance-Muscular strength and enduranceEach chapter in these two sections--introduces the measurement area;-discusses the significance of collecting the data;-discusses the developmental characteristics of the measurement variable; and-reviews the tests and protocols used most often, including guidelines and recommendations for standardizing the techniques used with pediatric populations.Whenever possible, the book includes normative standards to allow researchers to compare their subjects with others.After a complete evaluation of assessment techniques, Part III discusses measuring physical activity and critically analyzes the field tests and batteries that are used to test fitness levels in children. Batteries from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe are considered and evaluated for their validity and reliability. Also, with the guidance of Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology (CSEP), one contributor provides recommendations for specific international standards.>Measurement in Pediatric Exercise Science> is an important reference for exercise scientists, pediatric sports medicine specialists, and pediatricians. It's also suitable as a text for upper-division undergraduate courses in growth and development and for graduate courses that focus on collecting and interpreting physical and physiological data on pediatric groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Structured in an easy, accessible way for students and lecturersWell referenced, including a further reading list with each chapterNumerous standard textbook elements, including learning objectives, key points and an extensive glossary of terms and commonly used abbreviationsThe editor and contributors are all active researchers in paediatric exercise physiology with experience of teaching modules in this area

Book excerpt: This book takes a learner-oriented approach as it strives to make complex material understandable and usable. By understanding the underlying principles of measurement and evaluation, readers will then be able to apply those principles and concepts in a variety of physical activity and health-related settings. Practical exercises and applications demonstrate the usefulness of measurement and evaluation, reinforce key points, and make readers active participants in their own education. The book is divided into three parts. Part One introduces the measurement process, showing readers the relevance of measurement and evaluation to their personal and professional lives, and including examples and statistics related to such concepts as validity, reliability, and objectivity. The two chapters in Part Two further help readers understand numbers and assist those who need to use more advanced statistical calculations. Part Three presents measurement and evaluation applications in various settings, such as measuring physical fitness; measuring exercise, physical activity, and health; measuring in competitive sports and coaching; measuring and evaluating knowledge and assigning grades; and measuring in research. Throughout, discussions and examples show the relevance and application of measurement and evaluation in various professions, including physical therapy, athletic training, fitness/wellness management, exercise and sport psychology, exercise science, coaching, and physical education.

Book excerpt: Pediatric Exercise Medicine: From Physiologic Principles to Healthcare Application draws from the most current research activity in the area to examine physical activity as a prerequisite to the good health and physical performance of children. The book also considers the effects of lack of exercise on children and the relevance of exercise to clinical pediatrics for children with chronic diseases. While Pediatric Exercise Medicine: From Physiologic Principles to Healthcare Application emphasizes clinically related issues, it provides comprehensive coverage of the child-exercise-health triad of importance to all professionals serving young people. The text identifies current research in the area of pediatric exercise. It also helps the reader to compare the exercise responses of healthy children to the responses of children with clinical impairments. In turn, readers will recognize the factors that can influence children's activity behavior, trainability, and performance. The book contains three chapters related to the normal physiological and perceptual exercise responses of the healthy child. The next nine chapters consider the effects of exercise on children with clinical impairments, including asthma, diabetes, cerebral palsy, and obesity. A special feature is the coverage of children's trainability and the factors that can influence performance. The information, including environmental stressors on children, will be of interest to scholars and students as well as to coaches working in this area. The book also has these features: -Extensive graphic interpretation of the data--more than 250 illustrations -Helpful reference tables -Six appendixes on normative data, methods, energy-equivalent tables for different activities, scaling for body size, and a glossary of terms. In Pediatric Exercise Medicine: From Physiologic Principles to Healthcare Application, you'll find content you can apply in your daily work as a therapist, exercise scientist, physician, or other professional. You'll also find evidence-based rationale for the need for physical activity as a preventive measure and treatment of disease in children.

Book excerpt: Pediatric Exercise Science (PES) is the only journal devoted solely to issues concerning exercise in children. Its contents are designed to serve not only as a repository of knowledge in the field but also as a means of provoking creative thought. It thereby strives to act as a forum for new ideas and new directions concerning physical activity and fitness in youth. In doing this, PES crosses disciplines and acts as a means of communicating information among various groups of interest in this field, including exercise physiologists, physicians, public health specialists, and physical educators. Many of the articles in Pediatric Exercise Science focus on the field of childhood exercise. Recent issues of PES have also addressed topics such as effects of exercise in children on cognitive function, changes in blood pressure related to activity in youth, and measurement techniques for physical activity in children. An issue focusing on exercise in special needs populations is planned for later this year. Also available is the online format of PES that offers the same authoritative content available in the print edition, but with the additional advantages of electronically formatted material including the potential to search journals in seconds, access to five years of back issues, and the ability to examine the online version weeks before the print version arrives. Online subscribers are also sent each issue's table of contents by e-mail to announce that a new issue has been published.

At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.
