Ways in which a Child or Children's exercise programme could be adapted.

The program should include at least one exercise for all major muscle groups. Children should learn movements without weight first. The program should be done on nonconsecutive days - too allow body to recover and not too over train. The child should perform one to three sets of each exercise. Each set should include 8–15 repetitions. Set weights for individual participants within developmentally appropriate boundaries - children develop and grow at different rates. Special care must be taken to avoid overuse injuries, which growing children may be more predisposed to. Children should engage in resistance training as part of a wide range of activities. Children should be supervised during any resistance training activity. Proper form and technique must be maintained in all lifts. Explosive lifts, such as the power clean, should be avoided.
