Oxford textbook of children’s sport and exercise medicine (2023)

The 4th edition of the Oxford Textbook of Children’s Sport and Exercise Medicine is a single-volume reference in the field presented in four sections: exercise science, exercise medicine, sport science and sport medicine.

Each chapter analyses the research literature, establishes what is known, identifies gaps in our knowledge, and challenges current dogma. Where appropriate, chapters examine how recently developed experimental techniques, technologies, and methods of interpreting data have provided new insights into understanding the relationships between, physical activity, exercise, physical fitness, health, and sport performance in childhood and adolescence.

The book is designed to inform, challenge, and support all those interested in the exercising child and adolescent, the promotion of physical activity and youth health, and the optimum development of youth athletes.
