The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review to determine the current status of the effects of resistance training using elastic devices in children and adolescents. The search was performed in the Web of Science and Pubmed databases. Of the 38 initial results, 8 articles were selected that met the previously established eligibility criteria. The PRISMA statement was used to conduct this systematic review. The results showed improvements in muscle strength and in various health and performance variables. Training with these devices obtained improvements in sprint, vertical jump, change of direction and squat. In addition, improvements in body composition, balance, injury prevention and increased adherence to the physical exercise programme were also found. There is currently a worldwide decline in muscle strength in children and adolescents. This situation can lead to adverse health problems. Strength training with elastic bands is presented as a useful and effective tool in both school and sports contexts. However, more studies are needed to show the benefits of strength training from this resource in order to establish strategies to improve health and quality of life in this population.
