Abstract
Twenty-eight cyclists (16 adults, 12 adolescents) were analyzed for body composition, pulmonary function and cardiovascular function. Comparative data between the two groups revealed significant differences, in total body weight, lean body weight, ventilation rate, maximum oxygen consumption (liters/min) and FEV 1.0 in favor of the adolescent cyclist. The study suggests that aside from skill and experience considerations, the adult cyclists do not appear to possess a physiological advantage over trained young riders. Verf.-Referat
