A

the increased energy expenditures in children and adolescents

106
Q

the increased energy expenditure is attributed to a larger ratio of

A

surface area to body mass, greater stride frequencies, and shorter stride lengths and to differences in anthropometric variables and body mechanics that reduce movement economy

effect of air resistance on energy expenditure of running varies with

A

air density
