Course Description

70% of high school graduates drop sports. 15% of those who leave are unhappy with their abilities. Nearly 70% of those who leave are unhappy with their coach or because it was not fun. 30 percent of those who have suffered injuries give up their sport. The course contains practical information on sports science that provides parents and youth coaches with practical insights into pediatric sports science to help them retain and develop young athletes while also avoiding injuries and overtraining. The multidimensional nature and impact of sport development and growth on motor skills and the effect of that on coaching are all discussed. We also briefly review the changes in the structure of the body as a result of training. Next, we will examine the energy source of the athlete, its maturation, and where it comes from. Finally, we examine the development of strength, power, anaerobic capacity, coordination and flexibility through the life span.
