Ankle & Wrist Weights: Safe Age & Preparation for Training

Question
What Is The Right Age To Use Ankle Wrist Weights and What other things before using the Ankle Wrist Weights .  

Answer
Dear friend,

The age that most players take up ankle weights training is about 16. It's safe as long as you start softly with a 2 pounds and you might reach 5 pounds after 6-7 months.

However, the years before one should follow a plyometric program to build strong ankles and quadricpes. That is really imporant.

Sincerely Yours,
