Kramer said they were very shy at first, but then they just took off. He says they especially love the push press and the power clean. In fact, everybody loved it to the extent that despite an enrollment of 1,300 students, over 600 athletes use the weight room every year! <br>As Mount Olive High School enters the 2003 season anxious to defend its state championship title, we thank Director Stansberry for taking the time to tell his school s inspirational story. And for putting it in writing for us to share in this issue!><STRONG>Lon Carter has taught physical education and coached for 31 years, five of which were in the state of Wyoming.&nbsp; The remainder have been at Capital High School in Helena, Montana.&nbsp; He has been a head basketball coach, coached football and track.&nbsp; He has a Bachelor of Science degree from Eastern Montana College (1964) and a Masters of Education from University of Wyoming (1967).&nbsp; He has been teaching at Capital High School since its conception in 1970 and is responsible for instituting the BFS weight program currently being used at Capital High School.</STRONG></P>petitions, while the running child will run every day and subject the body to those many thousands of impulsive foot strikes. <br> It does not require much scientific knowledge or computational genius to see that the cumulative loading imposed by simple running activities on the lower extremities and the spine is far greater than the cumulative load of two or three times a week of weight training. Does this now mean that we are justified in recommending that children not be allowed to run, jump, throw or catch because biomechanical research definitely shows that such activities can produce very large forces on many parts of the growing body? <br>It should be obvious then that there is nothing wrong with running and ther normal activities of childhood, and therefore no reason to disallow activities of lesser impact, such as carefully structured programs of weight training.<br>Siff also notes that bone density scans have proven that youngsters who do competitive weightlifting (i.e., the snatch and the clean and jerk) have higher bone densities than children who do not use weights, and that clinical research has not shown any correlation between weight training and epiphysial damage. 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 than 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 publihed 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!
