Abstract. Resistance training (also known as strength training) is the practice of using free weights, weight machines and elastic bands, or body weight to build muscles, to develop muscle strength, power and muscular endurance. The participation of youths in an organized resistance training program has not always been encouraged, but the positive results of the numerous studies in scientific literature over the past decade have clearly stated the benefits. In addition, the stands that leading world fitness and health organizations and review articles take all state that resistance training can be very beneficial for children and adolescents if done properly. Training must be done in a safe environment, it must be properly designed and under close supervision of a qualified practitioner.
Key words: Resistance training, children, adolescents, benefits, risks
TRENING SA OPTEREĆENJEM KOD MLADIH
Trening sa opterećenjem (popularno ali nepravilno nazivan: trening snage) obuhvata vežbanja na spravama, sa tegovima, ekspanderima ili vežbama koje koriste težinu sopstvenog tela, sa ciljem razvoja mišićne sile, snage i izdržljivosti. Uključivanje mladih u organizovani trening sa opterećenjem nije oduvek bilo ohrabrivano od strane stručnjaka, ali su rezultati brojnih istraživanja, jasno ukazala na pozitivne strane. Takođe, zvanični stavovi vodećih svetskih strukovnih udruženja i zdravstvenih organizacija, kao i pregledni članci jasno ukazuju na to da pravilno dizajniran trening sa opterećenjem može biti izuzetno koristan za decu i adolescente. Trening se mora izvoditi u bezbednom okruženju, pod stalnim nadzorom kvalifikovanih osoba.
