ABSTRACT:
To investigate the effects of strength training on the self-efficacy of children, 11 boys and 4 girls (7-12 yrs.) participated in a twice-per-week strength training program, whereas 6 girls and 3 boys matched for age and level of maturity served as controls. All subjects were pre- and post-tested on the following measures: 6 repetition maximum (RM) leg extension, 6 RM chest press and psychological measures. Following the 8 week training period, the exercise group significantly increased their leg extension and chest press strength by 53.4 percent and 41.1 percent, respectively. Training did not significantly effect psychological measures. It is possible that ceiling effects in both the self-concept and self-efficacy scores precluded significant findings. Further research along with more sensitive measurement instruments are needed to more accurately evaluate psychological changes in children consequent to a youth strength training program.
