Further, an extensive Russian study on young athletes, published in a book entitled School of Height, concluded that heavy lifting tends to stimulate bone growth in young athletes rather thn inhibit it.<br>Two possible reasons for the fear that weight training could stunt growth are that weightlifters tend to possess more muscle mass than other athletes and that smaller athletes are attracted to the sport. In gymnastics, the average height of elite athletes has steadily declined in the past several Olympics because shorter athletes tend to be more successful in this sport. But saying that weightlifting makes you shorter because many elite weightlifters are short would be like saying that basketball makes you taller because most professional basketball players are tall!<br><br>The Numbers Game<br><br>Risk of injury is another area of concern for some coaches and parents. In this regard, it s instructive to look at the many studies that have measured the rate of injuries associated with weight training compared to other sports. For example, a study published in the November/December 2001 issue of the Journal of American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons cited research showing that in children aged 5 to 14 years, the number of injuries from bicycling was almost 400 percent greater than from weightlifting! Also, in a review paper on resistance training for prepubescent and adolescents published this year in Strength and Conditioning Coach (Vol. 9, No. 3), author Mark Shillington reported in a screening of sports-related injuriesin school aged children that resistance training was the nominated cause of 0.7 9"k|W?W @íF~ch1J NƔ*/_v:IDxOQ>_>\ |#[j(+B:vs+Rzs۹|Y#lm!\}e{JYTn%\z 4;v@ ȑ^^׷e* 7KXVI]kMOp( 1Q呧OUf2.c`1H|vCy(f(`~Aw3YHgkmqAA? fBys@<*[l՞C 1JN%2xh>yF5 , A큮&WE,~\{e!7WU 9 $ؼ )=l+!,z͋[ӚW~+;u x b"I?d7=M߻9RI( H$>R}J): 5-Z2FP;/+u-T#48 㽐FĀ!^ zqZ];R ղ6V Umyz8(a}|_ ED@J"# =h[H:#p:>X1* b1gQGr`(ߜB59*lNПSt&_hȸmk/J8 GO#4FmwKٸm *?׏ r8s"=@;Yf{TyipEaSE0'i ٍBpĚiZ\JIiz$ __冀 l "9.DMh]g\],(:ydav%~u uR;FOdQa]'GNnp'ր+2euv;^?4~cꏩ]\;C!r*պ첲r[GY&36Y,igXBQ"K7A˖agW ~v$59T)V]Ʋv=1!,:]b9By*kIc*~#(7a!pj0z2h<1[JY!%=vcʱm4I-nxY2U .MȏF桍pJŒBx.e(Um"\tY (#4@ܶ2e!Aۢfwq ~F1nk^' $ [|`Vh{pmMG$mC{Uz9dl{Vm6jSe&YK"oeSjw0HX@ <0;%u-6 [6]Ael{3/g UlܙQq#ŷK#7pTޭ$z}Pz}~ ݍ 0$i`ٵ58\V+ EȎKDҼL@,*=c:zV# eeE y0G[j 2աHѨUr,ܘRŞRisׅYP@"W[BHbxWʟ>_&RO2mrF\t [{Z@5 x_SGQbNJjI.NB)!ɍȓ9,QW_} )6ԛfpc5p6E{(M/^TD܀(V(iuƥ9vW>e'ܷ!2ϛ$chk2\,Y1J!E! `KxKV"wHB%Go.'`| v'Uz7S(ƈb֜҉6ZfRZiNčO ~Z~E@g:xUnMj,yQK:MGmzf\Dxj.7|2f(3džVRykoefP@]8w
