title: [Physiological characteristics during exertion of Swiss Alpine and urban pubertal children].
abstract: On account of standardized examinations of circulatory and respiratory responses during the ride on the bicycle ergometer the physiological characteristic of Swiss children population from 12 to 15 years of age living in alpin and urban habitats is reported. The average maximum oxygen intake per kg body weight was 49-50 ml/min for alpin boys, 45-47 for urban boys, 39-41 for alpin girls and 37-39 for urban girls. Except for somatometric values, there is no other significant difference between alpin and urban children from the physiological point of view. A comparison of presented results with data from abroad does not show any disadvantageous properties of cardiorespiratory functions for Swiss boys and girls.
