Study Notes
Youth Exercise Training
- Resistance exercise is a safe and effective method for conditioning
- Can increase muscular strength beyond growth and maturation if intensity and volume are appropriate
- Variability in strength gain is normal
- Potential for neural factors (motor unit activation/synchronization) influencing strength increase
- A multiple-modality approach is recommended
Youth Resistance Training: Potential Benefits
- Increased muscular strength, power, and endurance
- Improved psychosocial parameters
- Enhanced motor skills and sport performance
- Increased insulin sensitivity and cardiac function
- Increased bone mineral density
- Decreased body fat
- Reduced injury risk
Physiological Responses to Acute Exercise in Youth Compared to Adults
- Similar to adults in qualitative terms
- Quantitative differences exist
- Absolute oxygen uptake is lower in youth
- Relative oxygen uptake is higher in youth
- Heart rate is higher in youth
- Cardiac output is lower in youth
- Stroke volume is lower in youth
- Systolic blood pressure is lower in youth
- Diastolic blood pressure is lower in youth
- Respiratory rate is higher in youth
- Tidal volume is lower in youth
- Minute ventilation is lower in youth
- Respiratory exchange ratio is lower in youth
- Anaerobic capacity is lower in youth
Chronological Age vs Biological Age
- Substantial interindividual differences in physical development at any given chronological age
- Biological age can be measured by skeletal age, somatic (physique) maturity, or sexual maturation
- Degree of maturation is related to measures of fitness, including muscular strength and motor skill performance
- No scientific evidence that physical training delays or accelerates growth or maturation in youth
Special Considerations in Youth
- Physical activity should include unstructured active play
- Youth should avoid sustained, heavy exercise in exceptionally hot or humid environments
Resistance Training Guidelines for Youth
- Low to moderate intensities (6-15 reps, 1-4 sets)
- 1-3 sets of 3-6 reps are advised for upper and lower body power exercises
- 2-3 nonconsecutive days per week
- Gradually increase intensity or load (5-10%) as technique improves
- Use single and multi-joint exercises (e.g., weightlifting derivatives)
- Consider a multiple-modality approach (free weights, machines)
Resistance Training: Risks and Concerns
- Relatively safe compared to other sports and activities
- Focus on proper form, technique, and correct feedback
- Regular evaluations of technique by trained observers
- Gradual progression
Program Considerations for Older Adults
- Use free weights, multi-joint exercises (balancing and flexibility concerns)
- Avoid Valsalva maneuver during resistance training
- Allow 48-72 hours rest between sessions
- Gradually progress (1 set 8-12 reps at low intensity to higher volumes and intensities)
- Incorporate high-velocity power exercises (1-3 sets, light-moderate load, 6-10 reps, high velocity)
