Zusammenfassung

Der maximale Expirationsstrom wurde in je 5 aufeinander-folgenden Messungen an einer grossen Anzahl Kindern und Heranwachsenden beider Geschlechter und verschiedener Altersgruppen bestimmt. Die individuelle Leistung verbessert sich hauptsächlich während der ersten drei Messungen. Ausserdem scheint die höchste der 5 Messungen nicht wesentlich vom Mittelwert der 2 oder 3 besten Leistungen abzuweichen.

Summary

Five successive measurements of the peak expiratory flow rate have been made on a large number of children and adolescents in various age groups and both sexes. The predominant part of the increase in individual performance is already achieved during the first three trials. Besides, the maximum value of the five measurements apparently does not differ essentially from the mean value of the two or three highest measurements.
