Biography
Craig A. Williams is Associate Professor and Co-Director of the Children’s Health and Exercise Research Centre, School of Sport Health Sciences at the University of Exeter, UK. Craig’s research interests are within the area of children’s fatigue and high-intensity exercise. Sébastien Ratel is Senior Lecturer and member of the Laboratory of Exercise Biology at the University of Blaise Pascal. His current research interests include the use of 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy to investigate the muscle metabolic responses of children during exercise, and muscle fatigue and recovery from high-intensity exercise in children.
