“…training is as safe for youth, as it is for adults. Nevertheless, the reporting of AEs in MST studies is lacking (22). The purpose of the present review was to document the extent to which AEs resulting from intervention studies examining MST in youth are reported by researchers.…”

“…The higher reporting frequency when MST interventions were performed in samples of greater age variability may imply that training interventions should be geared toward cohorts of narrower age or ability ranges. Children are not necessarily more prone to MST-related injuries than adults, but proper instruction and supervision, particularly with younger, less-experienced age groups, are of paramount importance (4,22). It is possible that researchers' or trainers' inability to cater to the different needs within a heterogeneous group, rather than the group's heterogeneity per se, explains the apparent greater prevalence of AEs in such groups.…”

“…Authors are further encouraged to include clear statements on their definition of AEs, how to classify the event (eg, mild and severe), and strategies for monitoring. Journal editors and reviewers are encouraged to request that this information be reported during the review process (22) to more fully estimate the risks of MST in youth.…”

“…Recognition of the importance of reporting AEs has been addressed in the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (48) and its extension (32). The importance of reporting AEs has been further reinforced for exercise interventions (71) including MST for youth (22). Yet, AEs linked to exercise are underreported.…”

Clear definition, identification, and reporting of adverse event (AE) monitoring during training interventions are essential for decision making regarding the safety of training and testing in youths. Purpose: To document the extent to which AEs, resulting from intervention studies targeting muscle strengthening training (MST) in youth, are reported by researchers. Methods: Electronic databases (CINAHL, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science) were searched for English peer-reviewed articles published before April 2018. Inclusion criteria were: (1) average age <16 years, (2) use of MST, (3) statement(s) linked to the presence/absence of AEs, and (4) randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental designs. Risk of reporting bias for AEs followed recommendations by the Cochrane Collaboration group. Results: One hundred and ninety-one full-text articles were screened. One hundred and thirty met all MST criteria, out of which only 44 (33.8%; n = 1278, age = 12.1 [1.1] y) included a statement as to the presence/absence of adverse events. The 86 other studies (66.2%) included no such statement. Of the reporting 44 studies, 18 (40.1%) indicated one or more adverse events. Of the 93 reported adverse events, 55 (59.1%) were linked to training or testing. Conclusions: Most MST studies in youth do not report presence/absence of adverse events, and when reported, adverse events are not well defined.
