TL;DR: It is suggested that the mean differences between Norwegian and German children in their exercise and cardio-vascular fitness are brought about by a more physically active behavioural pattern of living in Norway.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the differences in maximal aerobic power between the Norwegian and German children are due to differences in growth and maturation with little additional effects of other factors is tested.

TL;DR: Functional growth curves giving means and dispersions for ventilation rates, tidal volume, respiratory frequency, ventilatory equivalent and respiratory gas exchange ratio are constructed.

TL;DR: When the relationship between maximal aerobic power and height, body mass and lean body mass was compared it was apparent that the almost linear relationship with height was the most precise.

TL;DR: A cross-sectional randomised sample of healthy Czechoslovakian children was investigated and favourable levels of constitutional cardio-vascular health indicators during childhood and adolescence, as well as the influences of life style on risk factors are discussed.
