From the Publisher
This book is different from other books on sports training and fitness for children. Its most important contribution is in the explanation of "sensitive ages" for development of movement abilities (endurance, coordination, speed, strength, flexibility) and what exercises you should use for developing these abilities at any given age. The existence of sensitive ages is related to sex differences and the need to develop separate programs of exercises for girls and boys from the onset of puberty. The exercises that fully develop the potential of a 12-year-old girl will harm a 12-year-old boy. Exercises that are good for the boy are less challenging for the girl and thus hold her back. The consequence of not doing just the right kind of exercises at just the right age is reduced fitness and athletic potential lost forever. In the case of girls it is easier to inflict lasting damage because their sensitive ages are shorter than boys'. Another unique feature in this work is a set of physical education lessons and workout examples that show how to teach skills while maintaining a high level of activity and effort intensity.
