Over the past few decades, resistance training has significantly improved body composition when initiated; it is strongly recommended for adolescence. The development of muscular strength and power through resistance training in children and adolescents is still a subject of debate and criticism. According to the two researchers Myer and Faigenbaum, they concluded that the age to begin neuromuscular training in an adolescent is when the child is able to understand instructions. Gregory Myer, Avery Faigenbaum and other researchers at the National Institutes of Health have calculated that neuromuscular training has a positive correlation with bone density, self-esteem and the benefit of participating in sports-related activities. The purpose of this report was to systematically review and synthesize the scientific literature regarding the influence of age of implementation of neuromuscular training on effectiveness when initiated during adolescence. Neuromuscular training in adolescents has various risks and concerns, benefits for the child's body, different types of training, and long-term effects. Neuromuscular Training in AdolescentsMultiple concerns and questions arise when discussing the risks associated with different neuromuscular training during preadolescence. Parents are very concerned about early limitation of the child's growth and/or increased percentage of sports-related injuries. In school-age adolescents, Myer and Faigenbaum's When to Initiate Integrative Neuromuscular Training to Reduce Sports-Related Injuries in Youth? Research discovery showing Zariczyj and colleagues found that only 0.7% of 1576 injuries resulted from participation in strength or neuromuscular activities...... middle of article......
