Metabolic and Fatigue Profiles Are Comparable Between Prepubertal Children and Well-Trained Adult Endurance Athletes
Summary : It is well acknowledged that prepubertal children have smaller body dimensions and a poorer mechanical (movement) efficiency, and thus a lower work capacity than adults.

Effectiveness of an individualized training based on force-velocity profile on jump performance
Summary : Ballistic performances are mainly determined by the maximal power (Pmax) lower limbs can generate, but also by the underlying individual force-velocity (F-v)
