abstract="Based on the experience gained in sports medicine a review is given on the development of functional stability of the musculoskeletal and locomotive system in actively sporting children and adolescents. Inadequate physical exercise during the growth periods may result in maladaption. Children retarded in their musculoskeletal development exhibit a reduced exercise tolerance. A training system with a high amount of exercises strengthening muscles in general may improve the efficiency of the locomotive system. In school children deficient muscular training results in a progressive reduction of stretching capacity of back and thigh (upper part) muscles. With a view to primary prevention of premature disturbances of the musculoskeletal and articular systems more attention has to be attached to the development of functional stability by adequate physical training both at school and during free-time activities.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
