A practical and comprehensive guide for teachers, coaches and parents which will help them to develop suitable, safe and effective training programmes for the child. There are major differences between the anatomy and physiology of adults and children involved in training for health and sport but, traditionally, parents, coaches and teachers have treated children as "miniature" adults when devising training and exercise schedules. Unlike adults, however, children are unaware of the limitations of their bodies and are therefore particularly vulnerable to injury or exhaustion while developing poor training practices and inadequate nutritional habits. Providing the latest information and advice on exercise and fitness for young people, the authors outline the health benefits of exercise, along with practical precautionary measures to avoid over-training and injury. They also demonstrate that is it possible and, in many cases beneficial, to develop sensible training schedules for children suffering various chronic syndromes. Sensible nutritional guidelines for the child are also included. David Jenkins and Peter Reaburn are both parents of young, active families. Former physical education teachers, they are now university lecturers in exercise physiology and sports nutrition and the authors of "Training for Speed and Endurance".

Seller's Description:
Very Good. The latest information and advice about exercise and fitness for young athletes is provided in this practical guide for teachers, coaches, and parents. The book emphasizes the importance of training and the health benefits of exercise for the young, while advising on precautionary measures to avoid injury. Topics covered include young athletes' particular vulnerability to injury, poor nutrition, inadequate recovery, and poor training habits despite a natural enthusiasm for being involved in sports and play. Dispelling the belief that children are miniature adults, this guide enables adults to make informed decisions and implement suitable, safe, and effective training programs that recognize the differences between the anatomy and physiology of adults and children.
