Child training health

This publication is the result of a collective effort of distinguished researchers of the SEFAA of Greece and Greek researchers abroad, for the publication of a book on the motor development and fitness training of children. Each chapter includes a theoretical part, as well as suggestions for practical application. For this reason, each of us was chosen to write the chapter where we have been involved in research, as the ambition of our writing team is to present the proposals with documentation based on research data. Essentially, our aim is to make this a comprehensive proposal on what the child can or cannot do in training, what needs or does not need to be done, with the primary objective of ensuring his or her health. In this publication we propose three areas: development, training, health. Most emphasized are the fields of training and development. In the future, more emphasis will also be placed on the child’s health issues. Besides, at regular intervals, we will be updated with new data highlighted by research. New chapters may be added in the light of developments in scientific knowledge, coaching and future requirements for healthy development and sport for children.
