AN APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AEROBIC ENDURANCE TRAINING IN CHILDREN

Anaerobic and aerobic endurance training can take the form of activities such as various games, athletics, swimming, cycling and other endurance sports. Endurance training at young ages should be a function of their general development. For this reason, training is mainly organized for general aerobic endurance. The main goal of pre-puberty ages in this study, is to gradually increase the duration of physical activity before fatigue is felt. For the development of endurance at these ages, the application of the interval method is not recommended, due to the great functional tensions that create waste during the exhange of subtstances with a high content of lactic acid, which are not easily avoided by the body, leding to exhausting fatigue, reflected in the work of the heart and lungs for several days in a row. Training method for the development of VO2 max aerobic endurance for young subjects, can be applied in a small volume with a load, activating lactic acid anaerobic processes, without ecceding the permited level of lactic acid. The presented models for aerobic training focus on the development of two components of the aerobic system: increasing aerobic power through heart rate development, as well as the effectiveness of the general exhange gases. Children can improve VO2 max during puberty, with the greatest gains ocurring during growth spurts. Different activities with aerobic loads, which include combinations of sports and attractive games, appropriate to the ability level of the subjects, which ensure an improvement of body mass index (BMI), also bring improvement in aerobic endurance. High intensity interval training (HIIT) recommended to be trained two or three times per week, is an effective method to improve cardirespiratory fitness in adolescents, regardless of body composition, and also improve their health.
