Episode 13 Exercise for Adolescent Athletes feat AEP Aaron Whitecross

Hannah speaks with Aaron Whitecross (Accredited Exercise Physiologist) about the most important things to know when it comes to training young athletes.  Young people have completely different physiology to adults and this needs to be considered when developing training programs that are both safe and effective.  In this episode we discuss questions like:  What physiological changes occur in teen years?  Should programming be tailored to stage of development?  Should athletes specialise in sport in teen years? What can young athletes do to minimise their risk of injury?
