❓Do you use weight training for the Scholastic training (youth) classes? 💭 Yes. Research has proven that well-supervised strength training can be an integral component of not only injury prevention but also performance enhancement in developing athletes. Although myths persist that weight training will stunt growth and harm bones and joints there is no (NONE!) research to support this notion and there is overwhelming evidence to suggest that appropriately implemented strength training can help in motor development and athletic performance. As with all program planning, appropriate progressions which are age and developmentally appropriate will be employed to ensure that the training is both safe and effective. ​#durham #raleigh #fitness #gymlife #strengthandconditioning #morrisville #cary #apex #crossfit #handstandwalk #bettereveryday #workharder #iloveal #gamelifechanging
