Book Synopsis

The go-to guide for under 18s with everything you need to know to exercise safely and improve performance

Strength and conditioning training has many benefits to young athletes when done properly. It can increase muscle strength, power and endurance, and helps protect the body from sports-related injuries.

Yet as social media has expanded, more young athletes are entering the gym and following the guidance of unqualified social media 'gurus' and famous faces, which can lead to unsafe and ineffective workouts.

With nearly two decades of experience, Arj Thiruchelvam is an authority in this space and is on a mission to provide safe, methodical and evidence-based advice for strength and conditioning training. He offers:

- Digestible information on the importance of strength and conditioning training
- Advice on achieving the right balance of exercise, nutrition and rest
- Step-by-step warm-up routines, mobility and drill sessions and an example of a 12-week training programme

Strength and Conditioning for Teenagers is the comprehensive and trusted guide to help youth athletes maximise their sporting performance in a safe and manageable way.
