Summary

Nutrition label

85% Informative

Strength training is safe and appropriate for kids of all ages to perform strength training.

Strong muscles in kids reduce the likelihood of injuries during various types of activities.

Strength training can also affect overall health and well-being as it relates to childhood obesity.

Children and adolescents are not miniature adults, and not all kids will adapt to a strength training program the same way.

A good strength training program for kids will set them on a trajectory to a healthy lifestyle from childhood to adolescence to adulthood.

Research shows that beginning exercise in childhood tends to lead to continued exercise habits in adulthood.

National Strength and Conditioning Association encourages a focus on improving training habits in childhood that can then be maintained into adulthood.
