Children's responses to exercise in cold climates: Health implications
(Reaktionen von Kindern auf Belastung unter kaltem Klima: Schlussfolgerungen für die Gesundheit)
1. Because of their larger ratio of surface area to body mass, children are more prone than adults to heat loss in cold climates.
2. Extreme heat loss in children is particularly apparent in aquatic activities because of the high thermal conductivity of water.
3. During land-based activities, children compensate for their large relative surface area by an enhanced metabolic heat production and by greater cutaneous vasoconstriction.
4. Small children and those with little subcutaneous fat are at particular risk of hypothermia and frostbite.
5. Cold air increases the risk for exercise-induced asthma.
