To Do


All physical training should incorporate elements of speed, flexibility and skill.


Introduce


• Hopping and bounding exercises or routines, or wheeling up gradients, to aid in strength development • Single periodization (see periodization – page 28)


Develop


• Strength using exercises that incorporate the child’s own weight as well as with light medicine balls and Swiss balls • Endurance through games and relays


• Speed by using specific activities that focus on agility, quickness and change of direction during the warm-up. For females the second training window for speed occurs between the ages of 11 and 13 • Flexibility through exercises. The accelerated adaptation period for flexibility for both genders occurs between the ages of six and 10 years. Special attention should be paid to suppleness during the growth spurt to accommodate for the rapid change in bone and muscle length


Keep track of growth spurts before PHV by regularly measuring height of children and looking for a sudden increase. Growth spurts of girls and boys lasts approx 12 months.
