Abstract
Strength training programs for children have become very popular. But is strength training safe and helpful in making children stronger and healthier? In this article, we discuss why and how this type of training is safe and beneficial for children. We also explain how people get stronger with strength training and how it may work differently in children and adults. Lastly, we give some tips about how children can safely start strength training with the help of a qualified coach/trainer.
