Weight training for adolescents

<< I am interested in finding out more information on the Youth/ Teen Lecture.>>

Weight training for adolescents - Weight training at an early age can be very beneficial, as it can establish a strong base from on which they can build in the years to come.

The only concern I would have is with lifting very heavy - meaning anything in the under 6 rep range. The reason for this is that when kids are that young, their epiphyseal plates (growth plates) are not yet closed. The open distance can determine how much a kid can grow. I have seen studies about how certain activities (including many sports) can cause these plates to close prematurely, thereby limiting the growth potential for that child. But certainly some moderate load higher volume weight training to increase strength and conditioning would be a great idea.
