Just as a lot of women are afraid weightlifting will make them bulky, adults often fear that strength training is unsafe for kids. Both these aforementioned beliefs are completely false! According to both the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), children can safely engage in resistance training.

Svasti focuses in formulating a specific training & nutrition program for children. This program which is carried out under expert observation develops a reasonable strength base, focussing on moderate weights and controlled movements, with a special emphasis on proper technique and safety.

Safely conducted strength-training can offer many benefits to children including increased muscle strength and endurance, fortified ligaments and tendons, improved sports performance, better musculature, better cardio respiratory function, stronger bones, improved protection against injury to muscles and joints. A weight-training routine will also immensely benefit the child in other important aspects such as increased self-confidence and self-respect, self-discipline with regards to abstaining from unhealthy habits, and resilience.

Children have the capacity to multiply the number of muscle cells as against adults who can only increase the muscle cell size, thus giving them an edge to improve their muscularity for life long. Besides, starting early ensures building better insulin sensitivity, thus keeping away from lifestyle diseases.

INDEED, THE GREATEST GIFT A PARENT CAN GIVE TO THEIR CHILD IS THE GIFT OF HEALTH.
