| Summary |
Whenever possible, the book includes normative standards to allow researchers to compare their subjects with others. The editor also critically analyzes the field tests and batteries that are used to test fitness levels in children, including batteries from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Measurement in Pediatric Exercise Science is your complete source for both laboratory and field testing of the physical and physiological attributes of children |
|
"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 one book, you'll find everything you need for evaluating pediatric populations. Written by prominent international leaders in the field of pediatric exercise for the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, this valuable text describes and critically evaluates a wide range of physical and physiological measurement techniques. Each chapter 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." -- book cover |
