At Georgetown Prep, we strongly believe the benefits of Strength and Conditioning training are without question the most important element of training for any athlete that wants to get to the next level. It is considered an essential element in preparing for competition in virtually every sport. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that nearly everyone train for the health benefits associated with resistance training. In fact, strength training can put your child on a lifetime path to better health and fitness.
Done properly with the right supervision and knowledge, strength training can:
- Increase your child's muscle strength, endurance and power.
- Help protect your child's muscles and joints from injury.
- Improve your child's performance in any sport they compete in.
Strength training isn't just for athletes. Even if your child isn't interested in sports, strength training can:
- Strengthen your child's bones.
- Help promote healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
- Boost your child's metabolism.
- Help your child maintain a healthy weight.
- Improve your child's confidence.
