Journal Title：Pediatric Exercise Science

Pediatric Exercise Science is a journal committed to enriching the scientific knowledge of exercise during childhood and adolescence. To this end it publishes information that contributes to an understanding of (a) the unique aspects of the physiologic, physical, biochemical, and psychologic responses of children to exercise, (b) the role of exercise in the treatment of pediatric chronic diseases, (c) the importance of physical activity in the prevention of illness and preservation of wellness, and (d) the means by which participation in sports may be made safer and more enjoyable for children and youth. Consideration will be given for publication of work by various methodologies consistent with the scientific approach.

Besides original research, the journal includes review articles, abstracts from other journals, book reviews, and editorial comments. Pediatric Exercise Science encourages the expression of conflicting opinions regarding children and exercise by providing a forum for alternative viewpoints. At the same time it serves as a means of accumulating a base of research information that will allow application of experimental data to clinical practice. The scientific disciplines contributing to this body of knowledge are diverse. Therefore it is the purpose of this journal to provide a common focus for disseminating advances in the science of exercise during childhood. In doing so, the journal allows the opportunity for cross-fertilization of ideas between disciplines that will potentiate the growth of knowledge in this field. Pediatric Exercise Science seeks to stimulate new ideas regarding exercise in children and to increase the awareness of scientists, health care providers, and physical educators of the importance of exercise during childhood.

Pediatric Exercise Science 是一本致力于丰富儿童和青春期运动科学知识的期刊。为此，它发布的信息有助于理解 (a) 儿童对运动的生理、生理、生化和心理反应的独特方面，(b) 运动在治疗儿科慢性疾病中的作用，( c) 身体活动在预防疾病和保持健康方面的重要性，以及 (d) 可以使儿童和青少年更安全、更愉快地参与体育运动的方法。将考虑通过符合科学方法的各种方法发表作品。

除了原创研究之外，该期刊还包括评论文章、其他期刊的摘要、书评和编辑评论。儿科运动科学通过提供不同观点的论坛来鼓励表达关于儿童和运动的相互矛盾的意见。同时，它还可以作为积累研究信息基础的一种手段，以便将实验数据应用于临床实践。促成这一知识体系的科学学科是多种多样的。因此，本杂志的目的是为传播儿童运动科学的进步提供一个共同的焦点。在这样做的过程中，该杂志为学科之间的思想交流提供了机会，这将促进该领域知识的增长。儿科运动科学旨在激发有关儿童运动的新观念，并提高科学家、医疗保健提供者和体育教育者对儿童运动重要性的认识。
