StrongKid.com supplies resources to enhance the health, fitness and sport performance of children and teenagers. We do this by providing research-based information on youth strength training for educators, teachers, parents and fitness professionals. Guidelines by the American College of Sports Medicine, the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology are helping us promote safe and effective strength training practices to improve the health and fitness of youth and teens.
StrongKid.com was founded by Dr. Avery Faigenbaum in 2001 to dispel the myths associated with youth strength training and provide reassurance that regular strength exercise can be safe, effective and enjoyable for boys and girls provided that age-appropriate training guidelines are followed.
As a pediatric exercise scientist with 20 years of experience working with children and adolescents, Dr. Faigenbaum shares his experience, knowledge and research about youth strength training on strongkid.com. Dr. Faigenbaum is a Professor in the Department of Health and Exercise Science at The College of New Jersey, and Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and of the National Strength and Conditioning Association. He is a leading researcher and practitioner in the field of pediatric exercise science and has co-authored more than 145 scientific publications, 25 book chapters and eight books related to youth health and fitness.
