Can Railyard Active Play Build Kids Muscular Strength?

Building muscular strength is the most long-lasting and effective when it is done using the entire body. Railyard Active Play provides strategies for sports conditioning for kids that are built around using body weight and gravity for resistance, with techniques that resemble playing. We've probably all done these techniques at one time or another - either on the playground, in yoga, or in an aerobics studio: vaults, hip raises, alligators, inchworms. These exercises resemble play but they're also implemented in a way that replicates normal movements of the human body - the body was designed to move as an well-connected system. 

The Importance of Functional Strength Training For Youth

The Games They Already Play: Fun Youth Fitness and Exercise Programs Using Functional Fitness

Despite our best efforts, childhood obesity rates continue to rise. Many factors contribute to this, but surely one of the most important factors is a lack of exercise. According to the Center for Disease Control, children and adolescents should do roughly an hour of aerobic exercise a day to stay healthy.  Yet in recent years, less than a quarter of our school children actually do that. And as our children live increasingly sanitary, boxed-in, always-wired lives, it's little wonder that they don't find time to exercise. But, that can be changed.

Create A Successful Youth Fitness and Conditioning Program

With the rise in juvenile obesity, physical fitness in schools and other places where children frequent is even more important. To help keep children at a healthy weight to reduce the risks of weight-related diseases, such as diabetes and heart problems, you can implement a youth fitness and exercise program using special fitness equipment that makes exercise fun, as well as effective.
