Abstract
The scarcity of sound insights into the long-term effects of physical exercise upon the growth of children is amazing. Most of our knowledge has been derived by extrapolation from animal studies and from observations of adults and nerve-damaged patients. Much more research is necessary to enable us to identify the effects of physical activity on the growing child and to determine which sports and exercises are most likely to establish desirable effects.Keywords
