Exercise and Respiratory Diseases in Paediatrics

Exercise and Respiratory Diseases in Paediatrics is a cutting-edge resource that explores the role of physical activity in the assessment, treatment, and overall wellbeing of children and adolescents with respiratory conditions. Addressing the unique challenges of pediatric research, the book integrates advances in exercise physiology, psychology, and biomechanics to highlight how exercise can complement multidisciplinary care for chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, and conditions associated with prematurity or medical complexity. By combining evidence-based research with practical insights, it provides a foundation for improving health outcomes and enhancing the safety and enjoyment of sports for young patients.
