Normative Reference Centiles for Sprint Performance in High-Level Youth Soccer Players: The Need to Consider Biological Maturity

chronological and biological maturity sprint performance scores and in turn a more maturity-sensitive strategy for assessing and evaluating current physical performance ( 49 ). Therefore, the aim of the current study was to compute reference centiles for linear sprint performance (5- and 30-m split times) as
Physical Activity Coparticipation Among Parent–Young-Child Dyads
Deirdre Dlugonski, Katrina D. DuBose, Christine M. Habeeb, and Patrick Rider
family physical activity interventions found that goal setting and reinforcement were useful strategies and that most family-based interventions encouraged families to be active together ( 6 ). To date, these interventions have produced small effects, which could be improved through a better

, and even potential professional success later in life ( 3 ). Executive functioning effectively represents several processes that are involved in complex cognition, such as problem-solving, modifying behaviors in the presence of new information, as well as developing strategies and actions to perform a
Psychological Responses to Intermittent Activities in Children With and Without Asthma
Anna E. Schwartz, Lexie R. Beemer, Tiwaloluwa A. Ajibewa, Katherine Q. Scott-Andrews, Toby C. Lewis, Leah E. Robinson, and Rebecca E. Hasson
Children with asthma engage in less physical activity than children without asthma due partly to exercise being a trigger for asthma symptoms ( 18 , 28 ). Intermittent exercise represents a novel strategy to promote physical activity among children with asthma, as most asthma symptoms are observed
The Benefits of Acute Aerobic Exercise on Preadolescent Children’s Learning in a Virtual Classroom

technologies, strategies, and programs to enhance learning. One such technology is virtual reality (VR), which allows participants to interface with various virtual environments. VR has increased in popularity among psychology and neuroscience research because it offers a situation in which the participant
Correlation Between Heart Rate at Maximal Fat Oxidation and Aerobic Threshold in Healthy Adolescent Boys and Girls

The term Fat max is defined as the exercise intensity at which maximal fat oxidation (MFO; maximal capacity of the body to oxidize fat) occurs ( 9 , 16 ). Exercising at Fat max may be of greater benefit as a body mass loss strategy as previous studies have shown that adults and children can lower
The Percentage of Mature Height as a Morphometric Index of Somatic Growth: A Formal Scrutiny of Conventional Simple Ratio Scaling Assumptions

( 10 ). Accordingly, exercise scientists have highlighted the potential utility of the percentage of mature height for informing the performance stratification of youth athletes rather than the use of chronological age categories according to the biobanding strategy ( 32 ). The percentage of mature

Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in monitoring performance development, particularly in the context of long-term athletic development, serving as a key component in guiding and optimizing long-term training strategies for young
A Systematic Review of the Associations of Adiposity and Cardiorespiratory Fitness With Arterial Structure and Function in Nonclinical Children and Adolescents

from nonmodifiable and modifiable factors, including age, growth, maturity, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and adiposity ( 7 , 25 , 40 ). Interventions targeting the modifiable risk factors for arterial changes early in life, such as CRF and adiposity, may be worthwhile strategies for preventing the
