Youth guidelines include special considerations such as

• A. Advanced CrossFit routines
• B. High-intensity sprint drills only
• C. Aquatics, chair-based resistance, cycle, basic or beginner yoga
• D. Only running

Answer: (C)

Youth fitness guidelines emphasize safe, age-appropriate activities that can be adjusted to skill level. The option that includes aquatic activities, chair-based resistance, cycling, and basic or beginner yoga fits this approach by offering a range of low-to-moderate impact modalities that can be scaled for different ages and abilities. Aquatics reduce joint stress and heat load, making it accessible for many youth. Chair-based resistance provides a safe entry point for building strength and technique before advancing to standing or free-weight work. Cycling offers cardiovascular conditioning with minimal impact on joints, and basic or beginner yoga develops balance, flexibility, and body awareness in a controllable, non-intense way. Together, these activities support safe participation, gradual progression, and variety.

The other options push toward advanced or highly intense activities or focus on a single activity, which aren’t aligned with youth guidelines that prioritize safety, broad movement experience, and adjustable intensity.
