Effects of Pediatric Resistance Training on health parameters in children: a systematic review
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Physical inactivity, increasingly common among children, is associated with different health problems, including pediatric dynapenia, characterized by low levels of muscle fitness. This raises the need to implement Pediatric Resistance Training (PRT) programs to improve health in this population. The main objective of this work is to investigate the efficacy of PRT-based interventions on different health parameters in boys and girls aged 6 to 13 years. The PRISMA protocol has been followed, using a total of 5 databases (Web of Science, Scopus, Sportdiscus, PubMed and ERIC). The results obtained a total of 587 articles were obtained, of which 13 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Following the analysis of the 13 articles, the results show that the effect of PRT interventions in children showed substantial improvements in different anthropometric parameters (body composition, BMI, waist circumference and bone mineral density), and to a lesser extent in physiological (blood pressure and lipid profile) and psychological (self-concept and self-esteem) variables. It is concluded that PRT programs seem to be established as a suitable non-pharmacological treatment to improve certain anthropometric health parameters, with further research needed to determine the effect on physiological and psychological variables.
