Description
Youth Strength Training addresses one of the most important, yet least understood, topics in the fitness and exercise industries. Research has demonstrated that youth-based resistance-training programs are an essential tool in the fight against childhood obesity and its many related health problems. Authors Avery D. Faigenbaum, Ed.D., and Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D., provide evidence- and experience-based responses to some of the most common myths concerning youth strength training as well as practical advice on building a successful youth-based program or fitness center. Finally, six full-body workouts are included, each utilizing a different form of resistance—adult-sized resistance machines, child-sized resistance machines, free weights, body weight, elastic bands, and medicine balls.
