Weight Training - Weight Training for Children and Adolescents
<< Loading TableWeight Training by Jurgen Grobler >>
Suggesting weight training for children is a contentious issue. It has been found that lifting heavy weights before and during puberty can stunt growth and lead to postural problems in later life. For this reason we suggest that although this circuit is safe for pre-pubescent children and adolescents it should be done with little or no weights and the focus should be on good technique and not the weights they are lifting.
When coaching children the coach often has to protect them from themselves, as their perception
of exertion is lower than that of an adult working at an equivalent level.
