The
6 to 12 Year-Old Athlete |

Just
as the young athlete’s growth is gradual,
the need for strength and power is also a gradual
progression regardless of the sport. Young athletes
in this age group have a limited attention span.
As a result, activities are often performed
in short bursts of low to moderate intensity.
A lack of endurance at this time is less of
an issue. Focusing on the fundamentals of training
and exercise with the specific sport are the
most important lessons. |
