Safe Strength Training for Kids Ages 10-14
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether kids ages 10-14 can safely do supervised weight-training exercises and benefit from them. Researchers want to see if structured strength training is feasible and helpful for this age group.
