Why the study?
Does endurance training elicit similar plasma volume and protein mass adaptations in adolescent boys compared to adult athletes?
Population
8 well-trained boys aged 13-15 yr and two groups of adult athletes aged 17-20 yr and 24-30 yr
Comparison
Endurance training (well-trained status) vs Children with normal physical activity and adult…

Similar plasma adaptations in trained boys and adults warrant no practice change; leaves open whether endurance training causes these effects in adolescents.
Does endurance training elicit similar plasma volume and protein mass adaptations in adolescent boys compared to adult athletes?
Endurance training elicits similar adaptations in the plasma protein system and plasma volume in adolescent boys and adult athletes.
Koch et al. (1977) studied this question.
