Adolescents and exercise.
This paper has outlined the components of conditioning and has given detailed training guidelines. Training should be sports specific. Conversely, the sport used for a training program will specifically emphasize different energy systems to a certain degree. The effect of exercise on growth and development is also a necessary concern. Too much, as well as too little, exercise adversely affects development. Today good nutrition is very much correlated with exercise, having a strong beneficial effect on the performance of an adolescent athlete and the development of a healthy adult. Finally, the price that adolescents must pay to be involved in exercise should be considered. Becoming a well-rounded individual with many skills is a healthy approach to life.
