Training Capacity and Training Age

Athletes and parents, we see a lot of news about the benefits of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and while there is good evidence this works for adults in many ways, it is not always the best training approach for young athletes. Skeletal muscle is the foundation for human movement, from crawling to running and pushing to pulling. Having a solid foundation of muscle (the more = greater Training Capacity) and training time learning to move well in multiple plains of motion and moving external loads (Training Age) are the most important areas to focus on at an age. Having a highly qualified strength coach, with experience training adolescent athletes, is critical. We train for life here at L2M all while preparing them for athletic competitions. Just like sport specificity at a young age is discouraged, so is sports specific strength training at a young age.

We build strong athletes, head to toe.
