It is commonly accepted that "exercise is good for children" but,
considering the number of children worldwide exercising, we know
comparatively little, compared to adults, about how specific
mechanisms influence health and sports performance. There are
considerable obstacles that challenge the progress of paediatric
research, not least in relation to ethical and methodological
considerations. Therefore, advances in the science and clinical
application of paediatric exercise physiology, psychology and
biomechanics have not reached their potential. Paediatric clinical
exercise physiology has application to the role of exercise in the
assessment and treatment of paediatric chronic diseases, the
utilization of physical activity in preventing illness and
enhancing wellbeing and can enhance our understanding of how sports
can be made safer and more enjoyable for our young athletes.
Exercise and Respiratory Diseases in Paediatrics highlights
research by various methodologies, including literature reviews,
experimental research and innovations, applied to children and
adolescents with respiratory diseases. Chronic conditions such as
asthma, bronchiectasis (e.g., cystic fibrosis), and those
associated with prematurity and medical complexity are worldwide
health problems for young people and although management includes
pharmaceutical medications, physiotherapy, nutritional and
psychological support, exercise has a role in optimising
multidisciplinary care. There has been unprecedented acceleration
in new technologies and methodologies that promise to facilitate
paediatric research and these are explained and discussed as future
research directions. This is reading for post graduate students,
researchers, academics and policy makers within the field of
paediatric healthcare, physical activity, physiology and the
related disciplines.
