Strength Training in Children

Strength training in children involves exercises designed to improve muscle strength and endurance, using techniques suitable for their developing bodies. It can enhance athletic performance, improve bone health, and boost self-esteem. Contrary to common fears, when guided by trained professionals, it is safe for children and should focus on proper technique rather than lifting heavy weights. Activities like body-weight exercises, resistance bands, and light weights can be beneficial. It’s important for children to enjoy the process and be encouraged to participate in a variety of physical activities for overall fitness and well-being.
