Although evidence indicates that muscular fitness is foundational for ongoing participation in active play, exercise and sport, current national and international youth physical activity guidelines underplay the critical importance of strength-building activities during this developmental phase of life. In view of troubling trends in muscular fitness in today's youth, specific recommendations to address neuromuscular deficiencies are required. An understanding of the multidimensional development of youth physical inactivity and the importance of muscular fitness are needed to have the most significant impact on youth physical activity at the population level. The mounting evidence of the detrimental effects of physical inactivity on youth warrant a review of existing physical activity recommendations and guidelines. The proposed pediatric activity pyramid recognizes the shared importance of strength, skill, and aerobic activities required for the successful implementation of sustainable youth physical activity interventions.
虽然有证据表明肌肉健康是持续参与积极玩耍、锻炼和运动的基础，但目前国家和国际青少年体育活动指南低估了在人生发展阶段进行力量训练活动的重要性。鉴于当今青少年肌肉健康状况令人担忧的趋势，需要提出具体建议来解决神经肌肉缺陷问题。为了在人群层面上对青少年体育活动产生最大影响，需要了解青少年身体不活动的多方面发展和肌肉健康的重要性。越来越多的证据表明身体不活动对青少年的有害影响，这使得有必要对现有的体育活动建议和指南进行审查。提出的儿科活动金字塔认识到力量、技能和有氧运动的共同重要性，这些活动是成功实施可持续的青少年体育活动干预措施的基础。
