AI Article Synopsis
- Child athletes have lower anaerobic power and muscular endurance, leading to poorer performance in sprints, jumps, and throwing compared to adults.
- They recover from intense exercise faster and may benefit from shorter rest periods during high-intensity interval training.
- Children also acclimate to heat more slowly and require careful hydration strategies, such as flavored fluids and electrolyte additions, to ensure proper fluid intake.
Article Abstract
Child athletes have a low ability to generate high-intensity anaerobic power and their local muscular endurance is low compared with that of adult athletes. This is reflected in children's low performance in short and long sprints, jumps and throwing events. On the other hand, children achieve steady-state at the start of intense exercise and recover more quickly than adults following intense exercise. A practical implication is that, during high-intensity interval training, children may need shorter resting periods than adults. Children take longer than adults to acclimate or acclimatize to heat. Upon transition to a warmer climate, their daily training volume and intensity should therefore be curtailed more so than in adults. Compared with adults, children thermoregulate less effectively during dehydration. Adequate fluid replenishment is therefore paramount for the child athlete. Flavouring the fluid is one means of enhancing young athletes' drinking volume. It is possible that adding sodium and chloride to the drink will further enhance drinking volume.

Although intention is a strong predictor of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA), several factors moderate the intention-behavior relationship. People experience goal conflict when one of their goals makes it more difficult to pursue other goals. Goal conflict was examined as a moderator of the intention-behavior relation using data from ecological momentary assessments and accelerometer-derived estimates of MVPA.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder in which there is slow and gradual impairment of mental function. Considering the increase in cases due to population aging, the potential benefits of physical training in AD are of great importance and need further elucidation. This study aims to identify the impact of physical training on crucial aspects of AD such as cognitive status, physical performances, quality of life and activities of daily living.

The general-domain effect of physical exercise-induced cognitive gains in behavioral outcomes is well-documented, but a consensus on the neural correlates remains elusive. This meta-analysis aims to identify the neural correlates of physical exercise-induced general cognitive gains by examining task-related brain activation consistently modulated by physical exercise and its relationship to those gains. Our analysis of 52 studies with 1,503 participants shows that physical exercise enhances task performance (Hedges' g = 0.

Background: Regular physical activity (PA) is important for reducing the risk of chronic diseases and improving overall health. Activity Quotient (AQ) is a novel metric that translates heart rate during PA into a weekly score, providing an objective measure of an individual's PA. We prospectively examined the association of AQ with cancer and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality outcomes, the two major causes of death, in a Taiwanese population.

Context: Limited information exists regarding the immediate and short-term effects of scapula retraction exercises (SREs) on acromiohumeral distance (AHD) in subacromial pain syndrome (SPS). This study's 2 main objectives were to investigate (1) the immediate effect of the SRE on AHD at varying shoulder abduction angles in patients with SPS and healthy controls and (2) the effect of the 8-week SRE program on AHD in patients with SPS.
Design: Cross-sectional and pre-post intervention designs were utilized on this study.
