“…38 Despite all these positive effects, it is vital to ensure that children can safely coordinate and be aware of how they move with weights before resistance training. 69 For this purpose, 'Resistance training skills battery for children' was developed 53 to evaluate children's individual and general resistance training skills and it was emphasized in later studies 69 that this battery can be used by anyone to determine the competence and readiness of children before resistance training is planned.…”

Children have been participating in sports with the increasing numbers day by day. With the increasing rivalry, they are trying to find the ways to improve their performance to the best possible. As a result, the number of children who are adding resistance training to their training routines is also increasing. This raises myths about the harmful and risky nature of resistance training on children with many questions about its safety and effectiveness. Recent studies can remove doubts about the risk of injury, uselessness and ineffectiveness. With the proves from many studies for some decades, it is now accepted that properly controlled and supervised resistance training during childhood is not only safe and effective but also recommended by the world's leading healthcare and sports organizations for improving health and athletic performance. In the light of the scientific data, possible benefits, risks and application areas of resistance training for child athletes are discussed in this review.

Abstract Objective Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are reported to have lower levels of strength and anaerobic capacity. The purpose of this study was to (1) identify field-based tests for strength and anaerobic capacity used in studies comparing children with DCD, and children who were typically developing (TD), (2) examine the methodologically quality of studies reporting psychometric properties and rate the psychometric properties of the examined test, and (3) summarize available evidence by combining the methodological quality of the studies and the quality of the psychometric properties of the test. Methods An electronic search was conducted in July 2019 in 4 electronic databases. For purpose 1, primary studies were included with no exclusion of study design in which children aged 4 to 18 years with DCD were compared to children who were TD on strength and/or anaerobic capacity measures. For purpose 2, primary studies were included with no exclusion of study design in which a psychometric property was investigated. The COnsensus-based Standards for selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) was used to evaluate methodological quality of the 34 studies and rate the psychometric properties of the used tests. Results Hand held dynamometer, bent knee push-up, vertical jump, standing long-jump, functional strength measurement, fitness test, and test battery can be recommended for TD, and the shuttle run item of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Second Edition (BOT-2) and 10 meter X 5 meter sprints (straight and slalom) for DCD. Conclusion Information regarding psychometric properties of field-based tests for strength and anaerobic capacity in children with DCD is lacking. Impact Statement Information about the psychometric properties of field-based tests for strength and anaerobic capacity in children with DCD is lacking. In TD children more information is available however also not complete. Especially information regarding validity and responsiveness is missing. When using measures in children with DCD it is important to keep this lack of evidence for the validity and reliability of the outcomes for this target group in mind.
