Dr. Oded Bar-Or was a pioneer in the study of children’s physical activity, exercise, and health. His diverse research interests led to numerous scientific explorations on thermoregulation, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, physical activity, economy of movement, obesity, neuromuscular diseases, asthma, cystic fibrosis (CF), and many more. To commemorate the extraordinary contributions that Dr. Bar-Or made to the study of exercise and youth, a symposium on pediatric exercise physiology was held at the CSEP’s 2006 Annual Meeting in Halifax. The papers in the following pages include the four papers presented by international colleagues in his memory.

Symposium Overview

The following series of papers comprise a symposium on Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), which are the new dietary recommendations for North Americans, that was presented at the 2004 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. The process of developing the DRIs has been an enormous undertaking resulting, thus far, in 12 book-length reports spanning from 1997 to 2004. It was therefore timely to review the recommendations, describe the considerations for physical activity that went into setting the recommendations, and, where possible, indicate how the DRIs may be applied to athletes.Key words: Dietary Reference Intakes, macronutrients, micronutrients, physical activity.

Aerobic And Anaerobic

Physical activity and exercise training play an important role in the clinical management of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Exercise training is more common and recognized as an essential part of rehabilitation programmes and overall CF care. Regular exercise training is associated with improved aerobic and anaerobic capacity, higher pulmonary function, and enhanced airway mucus clearance. Furthermore, patients with higher aerobic fitness have an improved survival. Aerobic and anaerobic training may have different effects, while the combination of both have been reported to be beneficial in CF. However, exercise training remains underutilised and not always incorporated into routine CF management. We provide an update on aerobic and anaerobic responses to exercise and general training recommendations in children and adolescents with CF. We propose that an active lifestyle and exercise training are an efficacious part of regular CF patient management.

Some cultural groups provide a glimpse at the past because they preserve or adhere to traditional behaviours and (or) living conditions. This brief introduction outlines a series of papers presented at the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology Conference that used this model to explore changes in the physical activity behaviour of children over time.

Children’S Physical Activity

Our aim in this study was to investigate the relationships between physical activity (PA), pain, and injury among children. Secondarily, we examined whether these relationships differed between children with normal versus excessive weight or obesity. This was a cross-sectional study of 102 children (57 girls) aged 8–12 years old. We assessed the prevalence of moderate and vigorous PA using accelerometry over a seven-day period. We examined the associations between moderate PA, vigorous PA, pain presence, and injury presence using generalized estimating equations with a logit link and binomial distribution. We adjusted the obtained models for potential confounders and explored the moderating effect of weight status. We found no association between moderate PA and pain, but time spent in vigorous PA was associated with pain. Neither moderate or vigorous PA were associated with injury, and there was no moderating effect of weight status in these relationships. In summary, we found that objectively measured vigorous PA is associated with pain among 8–12 year old children. While these results should be replicated in longitudinal studies, they suggest that an association between vigorous PA and pain should be considered when developing PA interventions for children.
