In other words, the legs and spine in controlled squatting are exposed to significantly less force than in running and jumping. Normally, exercises such as squatting will be done no more than twice a week for a total of about 60 repetitions, 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 other normal activities of childhood, and therefore no reason to disallow ctivities of lesser impact, such as carefully structured programs of weight training.<br>Sif also notes that bone density scans hve proven that youngsters ho do competitive weightlifting (i.e. the snatch and the clean and jerk) have higher bon densities thn 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 liting 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 sprt. In gymnastics, the average height of elite atlete 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 Number 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 tan from weightlifting! Also, in a review paper on resistance training for prepubescent and adolescents published this year in Strength and Conditionin Coach (Vol. 9, No. 3), author MarkShillington reported in a screening of sports-related injuries in school aged children that resistance training was the nominated cause of 0.7 As/8v嚋}?y{|_Sg㳾ٓ^kzRHAc:2cHqԸto~WԢWPєƜVr/ǻ#|$w$hﲃ_KYb PG咍_K%mH{QR N<gܵ !2gHwm.o|A&3;շdB͊9W$gdW6 h^efQ6 XY^qԥ4~,Hj~q'A*onx8_ r! zY]>fKu }i_;ʺ5՘n4>+%8#TK<9]>ol ;ѷ%ut|^- `Ԡ2$EU{E#z<a$#~55On㗎1?ΈvC '=>Av{dPMB"e&u[v,/z6V,~q= EX/P e-en>>/̈́Gd4IHH2 HDi[Sp7Xw./ڤeuu Ki ՘ӗ4ƣ=<7S`{Z"6!n12Kˇ@lY㡺hkɐ
