How old should a child be before weight resistance training?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Resistance training: Kids can be taught many healthy skills including resistancetraining as soon as they show interest. The aap and certified trainer organizations recommend all such programs be run by trained individuals & focus on proper technique in the beginning. Such things as power lifting & body building should be avoided until the child reaches skeletal maturity (shaving daily & at final height).
