Some long-term athlete development models have proposed generic sensitive periods or “windows of opportunity” during childhood and adolescence that are optimal for training general motor abilities such as strength or speed. However, it remains unclear whether these periods exist. This review will therefore critically appraise the rationale behind generic sensitive periods. We discuss several issues with generic sensitive periods and argue that general motor abilities and the associated sensitive periods do not exist. The identified issues with generic sensitive periods question their validity and we therefore suggest that they should not be used to train youth athletes.

The “Physical Literacy Movement Preparation Session” not only prepares the body for movement, it also improves the way you move, which reduces the risk of injury during physical activity. It also teaches skills that will benefit participation in unfamiliar activities. Movement preparation that’s geared towards physical literacy – focusing on the techniques that improve and incorporate fundamental movement skills and fundamental sport skills can also foster a more physically active and healthy lifestyle.

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
The prevalence of adolescent athletes who specialize in sports has increased in recent years. Substantial literature
on youth sports has linked early sport specialization to negative consequences, such as burnout and injury. However, empirical
evidence directly comparing burnout rates in sport specialization versus sport sampling is very limited.
