In den letzten Jahren wurde durch wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen eine Menge an Wissen zu der Dreiecksbeziehung Kind - korperliche Belastung - Gesundheit gesammelt. Trotzdem steht zur klinischen Anwendung nur wenig von diesem Wissen in den Standardlehrbuchern der Kinderheilkun de zur Verfiigung. Das vorliegende Buch soli die hier entstandene Lucke schlieBen. Bis in die Mitte der 60er Jahre konzentrierte sich die sportmedizinische Forschung auf den jungen Erwachsenen bzw. auf den Menschen im mitt leren Lebensalter. In den letzten Jahren laBt sich dagegen ein zunehmen des Interesse des Leistungsphysiologen gerade am Kind und am Jugendli chen beobachten. Ein wichtiger AnstoB fiir dieses Interesse war die wach sende Einbeziehung von Kindern in den leistungssportlichen Bereich. Heute sehen sich Kinder und jugendliche Leistungssportler hiiufig Trai ningsbedingungen ausgesetzt, die noch vor 10 Jahren keinem erwachsenen Athleten zugemutet worden waren. Als Ergebnis dieser Entwicklung sind heute in Sportarten wie Turnen oder Schwimmen Meister und Rekordhal ter junger als jemals zuvor. In anderen Sportarten, wie beispielsweise Ten nis, wird der Leistungsgipfel nach wie vor erst in der dritten Lebensdeka de erreicht, aber ein systematisches Training, das bereits in der Kindheit beginnt, ist auch hier obligatorisch. Die wachsende Popularitat des Jog gings und anderer sportlicher Freizeitaktivitaten zieht Menschen aller Al tersstufen an. Noch vor wenigen Jahren wurde der Langlauf fiir Kinder vollig abgelehnt. Wenn heutzutage ein 10 Jahre altes Kind ein Marathon rennen zu Ende lauft, so erregt dies kaum noch Aufsehen."
