[Growth parameters of female athletes during periods of high training load]
Abstract:
Studies of children participating in elite sport training programmes revealed growth disorders. Longitudinal analyses of female gymnasts (whose bone age was distinctly below chronological age) over a period of two years do not suggest a general tendency to growth inhibition. However, the marked variation in the longitudinal data may indicate retardation in individual cases. An evaluation of the growth parameters is of practical importance for the medical care of children participating in intensive training programmes.

Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
