The objective is to identify the most recent trends regarding the prescription of strength training in children and adolescents. The methodology: a systematic review was developed in which 648 articles were analyzed, of which only 10 were selected given their relevance and relationship. with the subject, in addition said articles were extracted from the databases: Google Scholar, Redalyc, Dialnet, and Scielo. In the results it was possible to identify in the review, (N=11) quantitative experimental investigations and (N=15) review studies (qualitative), as well as a total of (n=234) participants of both sexes in the experimental interruptions and a total of (n=139) studies consulted in the systematic review articles. In the conclusions it will be identified that training with free weights and body weight are the most used trend when prescribing strength training. With it, it stands out that the methods of training with weights and elastic bands are the most used implements to carry out their realization. The recommended frequency is 2 to 3 days per week weeks. The volume that stands out is 2 to 3 sets and 6 to 15 repetitions per exercise where the prevailing intensity is 60% to 85% percent of 1RM or moderate intensity on the perceived exertion scale.
