Great stuff as always @NedPartridge 👏.
Now on Sportsmith. Youth athletic development: It’s about movement AND muscles. @NedPartridge . "Despite the apparent stigma attached to machine-based exercise for youth, they are particularly effective for the development of muscular strength.".

An example of how we incorporate some of the principles from the ramp warm up protocol into challenges for adolescent students.
Hurdles are a great way of incorporating movement challenges into warm-ups!. Here's some of our students exploring different ways of challenging their stability, co-ordination, mobility and core strength before a big session! 💪🏼

Been great fun working with one of our GB climber's over the last few months. I find these guys absolutely take to any challenge you give them. Probably a reflection of the sport, which is continually challenging athletes on the edge of their competency.
Great way of engaging the core while focusing on stability and control!. Adding equipment like cones on the back helps children maintain a neutral spine, often slowing down the movement and making the challenge more demanding! 💪🏼

Hey twittersphere I've recently been trying to find literature in strength training interventions for children with dyspraxia. Yet I am struggling to find anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction or know of any research of S&C interventions for dyspraxia? Thanks!.
