Training and practices are important for performance but in the end an athlete can’t be successful without an adequate supply of nutrients. Proper nutritional intake allows youth athletes to optimize their performance levels by increasing their energy and helping their bodies physically develop and grow. If a youth athlete is constantly fatigued or experiencing frequent injury, it could be due to nutrient deficiency, and dietary changes could help. Nutrition is essential to youth athletes' performance and should be a top priority.
In Strong Youth Project's efforts to accomplish its mission and first aim, we regularly conduct interviews with experts in the fields pertaining to youth sports.
Resistance training is a form of exercise that requires body segments to be moved against external resistance. The external resistance may be provided by machines, free weights, elastic bands or tubing, or body weight; when using body weight, the training is often called calisthenics (for example, pushups or sit-ups). Youth are young people between the ages of 7 and 17.
Wait, are resistance training and strength training the same thing? Yes!
