Biography
Bareket Falk is a pediatric exercise physiologist, with a wide interest in children’s responses to exercise and the physiological effects that physical training may have on healthy children, as well as on children with chronic diseases. Her current work focuses on the effect of growth, maturation and physical activity on muscle function and on bone development.Bareket Falk is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Pediatric Exercise Science
Research Interest
Muscle function: effect of growth, maturation and training; Exercise and training effects on bone during the growing years; Thermoregulation during exercise
