Junior Golf Tips - Strength Training
Some people would worry about growth plate damage and so they don't always agree about strength training for kids. Whether strength training increases children's likelihood of future success or simply placing them at increased stress both mentally and physically is what the main point of controversy is focused on. Keep reading to learn pointers on the right way to have a junior golfer build a body that's strong and healthy. First, with respect to strength and strength production, there are definite differences between adolescent boys and adolescent girls. In boys between the ages of 7-19, growing consistently is the absolute muscular strength which is also the greatest amount of force an individual can produce. In girls, strength gains are incurred on a consistent level until about the age of 15, when a period of stagnation occurs and strength gains plateau, and in fact begins to fall. By the end of the pubescent ages, boys are stronger than girls for roughly 50%.
Make sure that proper instruction on exercise form is given as your child starts a golf training program. Instruction and supervision is provided by adults in order to enforce safety and supervision. Hiring a trained professional is what you can also consider if you want to demonstrate proper form and safety measures. In most gyms, there is a junior program where proper lifting techniques and protocols are offered.
In order for junior golfers to receive maximum benefits from the exercise while minimizing any risks, golf training programs for juniors should emphasize the principles of proper exercise form and lifetime fitness. For adults who design training programs for their children, an environment centered on enjoyment, positive reinforcement, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle are what they need to provide. Becoming bodybuilders is not what young golfers are trying to achieve. What they should be trained to become are strength builders. Body weight exercises that place an emphasis on many muscle groups nd movements that mimics real life movements are what junior golfers should start with.
Junior golfers should begin each session with a short warm up of roughly 10 minutes. Considered as good warm up exercises are jogging in place and jumping jacks. When the workout session is over, it should end with a light stretching. Never overwork the muscles. To improve both strength and endurance, it is adequate to have 2-3 sessions per week.
By monitoring the progress, you will be given a quick snapshot of what you have done and what's the best approach to progress from there. It's important to keep in mind for the junior golfer to add variety, consistency and fun to their workout sessions. Once something becomes a chore or is boring, interest is lost. Trying new exercises, working indoors and out, and not repeating the same process over and over will help keep the junior golfer dedicated to strength training.
