Development of the energetics of muscular exercise with age: Summary of a 30-Year study: IV. The development of the energetics of skeletal muscles depending on the somatotype

Abstract

The report is based on the results of an 11-year longitudinal study on the age-dependent changes in the muscular working capacity in 7-to 17-year-old boys and girls with different somatotypes. Type-specific features of the development of the energetics of skeletal muscles and sex-related differences in the typological structure of the sample have been found. Somatotype-predisposed differences in the structure of the energy supply of muscular exercise are shown.
