Fitness and Strength Training for Kids in Dubai

WATCH THE KIDS IN DUBAI GET STRONG & FIT!

RECOMMENDED BY CDC & AAP

Exercise and sports are an important part of childhood. Children who establish regular exercise habits will ideally continue them into adulthood. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that all school-aged children participate in at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous developmentally appropriate physical activity each day.

RESISTANCE TRAINING IS A FOUNDATION

There is a growing body of evidence that resistance training is a foundation of long-term physical development. Also, the children and youth with low levels of muscular fitness tend to become weak adults who are at increased risk for functional limitations and adverse health outcomes.

PHYSICAL LITERACY SINCE CHILDHOOD

Childhood and early adolescence have been hailed as critical windows for the development of optimal physical literacy. Defined as the “ability, confidence, and desire to be physically active for life,” physical literacy is thought to be a cornerstone to lifelong health and fitness.

MASTER THE FOUNDATIONS IN CHILDHOOD

There is growing recognition that a foundational set of movement skills should be mastered during childhood to facilitate the potential for long-term engagement and confidence in physical activity. Insufficient mastery of these skills can lead to an inability to physically and socially keep up with active peers, which in turn can lead to cascading effects for motivation, desire, and ability to be physically active and avoiding injury in later adolescence and adulthood. Of particular concern is insufficient muscular fitness among children, which is marked as a vital component to the health, wellness, and success of any youth looking to participate in sports and recreational activity.

OBESITY & DIABETES IN CHILDHOOD

Also, with the increasing rate of child obesity and teenage diabetes these days including due to spending a lot more leisure and play time on computers and mobile devices, it makes more sense for children to start weight training early.

QUALIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER IS A MUST

However the execution and scaling of these exercises need to be carefully monitored to ensure safety. Make sure the child starts under the guidance of a qualified personal trainer who can use many tools like bodyweight, free weights, machines, and plyometrics smartly to create a well designed strength programme for kids to ensure safety and progression.
