I just returned from the Texas State PE Administrators Conference, what a dedicated group of professionals. We've recieved more inquiries from the State of Texas than all the rest of the country combined, after attending this event I can see why. Texas is on a mission to improve the health of thier children, I can only hope the rest of the country will choose to follow.
The Railyard Conditioning Course is the ideal exercise platform for children, and it's fun!
>> From a study published in the Swimming Science Bulletin. Authored by Brent S. Rushall & John Marsden.
"If resistance training is to be done with children and young adolescents, exercises should involve sub-maximal loads, such as one’s own body weight, light dumbbells, weighted bags and/or medicine balls. Sophisticated and restrictive weight exercises, particularly on machines, are not ideal for children".
