Salvatore is a 15-year-old male who plays multiple sports. As he grows, he is noticing although taller; his weight is in the 5th percentile for his age. He was asked to play varsity soccer in the fall for school and wants to gain muscle hypertrophy. Salvatore also has limited flexibility that causes his patellar tendon to inflame, causing patellar tendinitis. His mother hires you to train him; what type of program would you prescribe to Salvatore (remember he is still in his growing stages)? Is it essential for him to have better flexibility and if so, how would you assist him in becoming more flexible?
