Integrative programme design provides you with effective programmes that maximise creativity, engagement and fun.
The text also covers issues such as the global epidemic of childhood obesity, long-term athlete development and the troubling rise of sport-related injuries in young athletes. ;;The organisation of Essentials of Youth Fitness has been designed in order to take you on a journey of learning and discovery.
The first part introduces you to the fundamental concepts of paediatric exercise science.
Part II includes chapters on the assessment of youth fitness and conducting warm-ups.
The final section presents you with a collection of chapters that cover important modern-day topics in paediatric exercise science. ;;Essentials of Youth Fitness serves as a seminal resource that you refer back to again and again.
