Pediatric Exercise Science

Pediatric Exercise Science (PES) is the only journal devoted solely to issues concerning exercise in children. Its contents are designed to serve not only as a repository of knowledge in the field but also as a means of provoking creative thought. It thereby strives to act as a forum for new ideas and new directions concerning physical activity and fitness in youth. In doing this, PES crosses disciplines and acts as a means of communicating information among various groups of interest in this field, including exercise physiologists, physicians, public health specialists, and physical educators. Many of the articles in Pediatric Exercise Science focus on the field of childhood exercise. Recent issues of PES have also addressed topics such as effects of exercise in children on cognitive function, changes in blood pressure related to activity in youth, and measurement techniques for physical activity in children. An issue focusing on exercise in special needs populations is planned for later this year. Also available is the online format of PES that offers the same authoritative content available in the print edition, but with the additional advantages of electronically formatted material including the potential to search journals in seconds, access to five years of back issues, and the ability to examine the online version weeks before the print version arrives. Online subscribers are also sent each issue's table of contents by e-mail to announce that a new issue has been published.Rowland, Thomas W. is the author of 'Pediatric Exercise Science', published 2005 under ISBN 9780736053150 and ISBN 0736053158.
