Description

In Development of the Youth Athlete, Professor Neil Armstrong offers a unique, single-authored, evidence-based and integrated analysis of the physical and physiological development of young athletes. Drawing on specific sporting examples, the book critically analyses youth development in the context of long-term health and wellbeing, tackling the principle controversies in youth sport such as overtraining and specialisation (including some of the dominant talent development models), the ethics of physiological testing, the use of performance-enhancing substances, and future issues like selective breeding and gene-doping. Providing the only up-to-date, coherent and integrated crititcal discourse on youth athlete development currently available, Development of the Youth Athlete is essential reading for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduate students and researchers with an interest in paediatric exercise science and physiology, or the ethics of talent identification and development.
