O2 trainability pre-puberty is unchangeable (obvious implications to youth distance training). Children are more "aerobic" than adults. Sub-maximal energy cost is higher in children. Children are not economical OR efficient in exercise. Training of adolescents helps improve efficiency of motion, but not necessarily aerobic efficiency. Children recover faster on maximal efforts. Compared with adults, children produce more heat relative to body mass during intensive activity, so heat illness becomes more of an issue with children. These core temperature differences do not preclude activity. . they just require constant attention to fluid replacement. Children are at a disadvantage to adults in heat-related exercise.
