Youth Strength Training Whether children should receive strength training has often been called to question. The YMCA of the USA Medical Advisory Committee believes we should encourage youth to embrace physical activity and regularly participate in physical fitness programs which include a strength training component. A properly designed and supervised strengthen training program is safe for children. |
