Congratulations to Dr. Grant Tomkinson (Australia) on their recent publication “Is it OK for kids to lift weights? At what age and how heavy? Here’s what parents need to know” published in The Conversation! The article highlights the importance of resistance training in children and youth.

“Resistance training can also benefit kids’ physical and mental health. For example, it can improve their metabolic health, help them manage weight, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve self-esteem, and help academically.”

“The key is to start slowly and make it fun. The goal is to get kids to enjoy resistance training and set them up for lifelong success.”
