Temperature regulation and elite young athletes.

摘要: Children and adults employ different thermoregulatory strategies, particularly in dealing with heat stress. rely more on 'dry' exchange, while evaporative loss is adults' foremost heat-dissipation venue. Several anatomical, physiological, psychological factors can affect differential risk of thermal injury the child vs. adult athlete, some situations. have greater surface-area- to-mass ratio, lower sweating rate, higher peripheral blood flow heat, a extent vasoconstriction cold. They acclimatise to similar but do so at rate than adults. Differences perceived exertion strain, cumulative experience, cognitive development, decision-making capacity may negatively young athlete's behaviour under competitive other situations, possibly subjecting him/her sub-par performance or injury. However, except for very limited environmental conditions, children general, athletes particular, are physiologically as capable handle challenges. Language: en
