Although anaerobic weight training in this age group does not lead to muscle hypertrophy, it can increase the efficiency of muscle action by increasing muscle memory. There is insufficient testosterone in this patient population to allow for muscle hypertrophy. Proper techniques of weight training have been shown to be safe and do not damage the growth plates or joints in these individuals.
