The key is proper understanding of movements, recovery and speed of movements. I am a powerlifter and after 28 years of training am still only beginning to understand how to train properly. A child should work more with dumbbell movements to build coordination. Children's brains aren't fully developed and need more emphases on hand eye coordination movements. Developing controlled speed is key to coordinated power movements. Speed training will develop better neural connections between brain/muscle movement. A great hand/eye development technology comes from the development of the Nintendo WII video game box. In the next couple of years there will be so many ways to get kids to develop their muscles while still making it fun. Strength training is great for almost all ages.
