abstract

  • Abstract This chapter focuses on laboratory-based strength assessment techniques and considerations for the paediatric population. The theoretical and practical considerations underlying strength assessment in adults and children and adolescents have been previously and thoroughly reviewed. This chapter will supplement, with emphasis on paediatric considerations, but not replicate, the material covered in these references. The topic of strength development and its correlates or determinants during childhood are beyond the scope of this chapter.
