“…[20][21][22][23][24][25][26] In contrast, early reports on resistance, power, and speed training in youth have suggested that similar adaptations would not occur, although methodological limitations could partly explain these findings. 27,28 More recent studies that investigated the trainability of youth with more intense and high-volume training protocols demonstrated significant improvements in selected performance measures in children and adolescents following progressive training programs. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] The benefits of resistance, power, and speed training in children and adolescents are now known to be greater than those attributable to normal growth and development.…”

As more children and adolescents participate in sports and conditioning activities (sometimes without consideration for cumulative workload), it is important to establish age-appropriate training guidelines that may reduce the risk of sports-related injury and enhance athletic performance. The purpose of this article is to review the scientific evidence on youth strength and conditioning and to provide age-appropriate recommendations for integrating different strength and conditioning activities into a well-designed program that is safe, effective, and enjoyable. Integrative training is defined as a program or plan that incorporates general and specific strength and conditioning activities that enhance both health- and skill-related components of physical fitness. The cornerstone of integrative training is age-appropriate education and instruction by qualified professionals who understand the physical and psychosocial uniqueness of children and adolescents.

“…The appropriate development of muscular strength can have important implications for sport and daily life. To induce adaptations in muscular strength above and beyond those of growth and maturation alone, the volume and intensity of training stimulus must be sufficient 2 5 12 175 176. Research clearly indicates that appropriately designed resistance training programmes can benefit youth of all ages, with children as young as 5–6 years of age making noticeable improvements in muscular fitness following exposure to basic resistance training exercises using free weights, elastic resistance bands and machine weights 161 177 – 179.…”

The current manuscript has been adapted from the official position statement of the UK Strength and Conditioning Association on youth resistance training. It has subsequently been reviewed and endorsed by leading professional organisations within the fields of sports medicine, exercise science and paediatrics. The authorship team for this article was selected from the fields of paediatric exercise science, paediatric medicine, physical education, strength and conditioning and sports medicine.

“…It has been generally accepted that strength training can increase strength beyond what would occur consequent to the normal growth of a child (3,4,9,13,18,33,37,39,44,46,47,54,56). Except for some isometric training protocols (17,22), almost all resistance training programs have realized strength gains in some of the musculature that was trained in the study. Still, questions remain where the lack of an effect was observed consequent to resistance training.…”

The use of resistance training for children has increased in popularity and interest. It appears that children are capable of voluntary strength gains. Exercise prescription in younger populations is critical and requires certain program variables to be altered from adult perspectives. Individualization is vital, as the rate of physiological maturation has an impact on the adaptations that occur. The major difference in programs for children is the use of lighter loads (i.e., > 6 RM loads). It appears that longer duration programs (i.e., 10-20 wks) are better for observing training adaptations. This may be due to the fact that it takes more exercise to stimulate adaptational mechanisms related to strength performance beyond that of normal growth rates. The risk of injury appears low during participation in a resistance training program, and this risk is minimized with proper supervision and instruction. Furthermore, with the incidence of injury in youth sports, participation in a resistance training program may provide a protective advantage in one’s preparation for sports participation.
