The American College of Sports Medicine determined that childhood obesity will be one of top trends in the health/fitness field for 2009.
On a positive note, this survey concluded that youth sports performance training will be a popular trend in 2009. They specifically mentioned the high school aged athletes. This supports the notion that athletes need to develop an overall athletic base to excell and prevent injury in their sport. Individual athletes and teams that do not have a structured performance program will be left behind while other teams continue to train to improve their overall athleticism.
