Factors affecting the youth anaerobic performance?
Anaerobic glycolytic capacity is lower
Recover faster and may tolerate activities that stop and start
Factors effecting youth and aerobic performance
Vo2 max increases due to body size & composition
Energy costs are higher due to technique and leg strength
Factor affecting the youth cardiorespiratory
High HRmax
Greater blood flow to the working muscles
Respiratory system is less efficient
Lower endurance
Factors affecting the youth thermoregulatory responses
Produce more heat
Less tolerant to prolonged activites

- Make sure it’s the proper from and breathing techniques
- Focus on developing muscular endurance
- no maximal lifts until older than 16
During aging what happens?
