Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is examine the effects of 8 weeks (3 days/week) of resistance exercise training in children 8 to 10 years of age on muscle strength, activation, and lipids of the vastus lateralis.

- 8 Years to 10 Years (Child)
- Sex
- All
- Accepts Healthy Volunteers
- Yes
Inclusion Criteria
- •Healthy volunteer males and females ages 8 - 10 years.
Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in the muscular strength of leg extensors, as measured with isometric strength.
Time Frame: baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks)
The score will reflect the strength of the leg extensors. The higher score, reflects greater muscular strength.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change from baseline in thigh muscle cross-sectional area.(baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks))
- Change from baseline in motor unit firing rates during a 60% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC).(baseline, following the intervention (9 weeks))
