WHAT HAPPENS AS WE GROW?
Early childhood development must have a focus on Fundamental Movement Skill Development. Improvements will mainly be made through neural adaptations. Neural adaptation is your child’s ability to make the mind-body connection which is so important in laying the ground work for continued development and progress. This is a rapid growth period and physical activity should be almost “play like” with low to no structure.
Now we’re entering a more steady growth. While the structure is still relatively low it is still primarily neuro-muscular, so regularity is still paramount. Training structure is still low to moderate while endurance and metabolic conditioning can be implemented but with low frequency. Mental Maturation is starting to play a more important role in your child’s physical abilities.
Adolescent growth spurts yield the combination of neural adaptations with hormonal adaptations. Training structure is more moderate and is largely based on individual’s maturity. Introduction to strength training. We see the largest development of muscle hypertrophy with the focus incorporating agility, speed, power and strength. Training focus intensifies with moderate to high training structure.
