Document Summary
*lower testosterone make hypertrophy less effective & also avoid eccentric. What is special about working with children and youth: specific knowledge about growth patterns different growth/development, heterogeneity in population, attention span, understanding, maturity, fun. Balance = disproportional limbs with head heavier relative to body so no maturity of nervous. Shorter for children so activity in small segments. Need to be fun otherwise children not participate. Not yet developed secondary sex characteristics = up to 11 y. o. Weight training can be done with safety issues. Not true lack of effects of strength training due to lack of testosterone *other factors. Strength gains relatively comparable with adolescent or adult responses but without substantial. *resistance training need to be qualified with proper warm up & cool down. Paediatric burn victims allows movement in connective tissue that supports muscles & stimulate. Better muscle strength + control movement & less fatigued. Effectiveness of functional progressive resistance exercise training on walking ability in.
