[Biochemical changes after endurance exercise in children and juveniles (author's transl)]
Abstract:
In 6 groups of children and juveniles (aged 8-16 ys) the exercise induced changes (cross country skiing of different durations) in various blood-parameters (Na, K, Ca, Mg, glucose, lactic acid, free fatty acids, glycerol, triglycerides, cholesterol, urea, CK-activity) are shown in contrast to changes in adults. It was found, that there are differences in the matabolic behaviour of the groups examined; previous data in adults must be applied, with restrictions, to results found in children or juveniles. Single parameters are not sufficient to obtain informations about influences of intensive endurance training in juveniles. Remarkable changes after long-lasting exercise must be expected in the blood values of K, Mg, urea, insulin and STH.

Outcomes of Glycolysis
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate oxidation, the...

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...
