Scott’s Training Systems belief in training children is that if they are old enough to play sports and listen to their coaches they are ready to participate in a strength-training program. The routine should be enjoyable to the child and does not necessarily involve free weighs or machines. Push-ups, pull ups, dips, squats, etc. can all be done until the child is ready to implement weights. BBS also incorporates speed ladders, bosu balls, stability balls, and the Power Plate and Keiser Functional trainer to help develop agility and build bone density.
There are a number of benefits associated with a resistance training program, including: injury prevention, reduce risk of obesity and diseases associated with obesity, psychosocial, improved shock absorption, increased balance and coordination, and improved self-esteem and self-worth. Even with all these benefits there are still some concerns which is why a child should consult with professional before starting any type of resistance training.
If you do not wish to enroll your child in a resistance training program, please make sure they are active. Over 60% of our children are overweight or obese. Type II diabetes in children is on the rise and with the decrease of P.E. in school you need to take the initiative and make sure your child is healthy. Below is a list of activities and the calories burned performing them you can have your child incorporate into their life to help keep them healthy.
