I have three athlete sons ages 9, 11 and 12. Does anybody know of any books or other reference materials on strength training for children?

Answer#1: prob best to pop down ur local gym.Speak to a fitness advisor, they could help. As for strength training most gyms have a minium age of at least 16-17 before using weights. As doin such an activity at a young age will stunt the growth of the individual as proper bone development will not occur. At such a young age as long as they concentrate on aerobic exercise to build up their fitness and proper tecnique of the sport they are doing then when the time comes to do weights they will already be fit and willing to include such an activity to build into which ever sport they are progressing in.
