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 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 injuries in school aged children that resistance training was the nominated cause of 0.7 Adobed              "   s!1AQa"q2B#R3b$r%C4Scs5D'6Tdt& EFVU(eufv7GWgw8HXhx)9IYiy*:JZjzm!1AQa"q2#BRbr3$4CS%cs5DT &6E'dtU7()󄔤euFVfvGWgw8HXhx9IYiy*:JZjz ?E;d8׵ \IߙΣiٱ (i#C)#HXRpqi\c:bnzWZY 4ֽ( 8\H=1kB K]6Ƃd[ZOk]GVi$0?P͒B#?0$rX2J5w Ubvp=9IǟdF4z`{`U519oLئl+'muI}[W zνgA N#g;Q5Ӏ9;5,' mxbyeZ" H J{5j2NYq` 끖t<0[L4`{im3kQmkjkeA7iқ`n[K,vhzuеi/7U:w8}!ٔs"F?d[~{ˏ>9HcXQƠƭë}[UayN uqVHF =EEʞfXCs}ry$RH+iP nUos~Q}KK 9ZV5fB-}`sMsqrE55 1 dz9Q4p[+"Y&tSTĐn (Kc"%}s )r5o ˱#o#CrPߣ"@^\끭jCXWl<>YOb!BAmu%YA##Vm#`v6h޹ \<{w+Ia1mc .&"PjQs0 zWVi⹗xbdwڵX9%ӼaJp-& ?z CJ$P>xSy"fqb^ CB-^"%9 6 KmcjЪ>y1`V:E̺w*)>#E_/=ްtejV0T lU޿z-c8c(ary~ 6ִ}7L7,,k{ϲwfY ɡ-c$ŵ]Gz[wvcҪSz'N")]]>nPui'zRGִyݽTiE.GĽ~~hK=FGqPvt_.[q$Gɉq&ޱ℅E9WZH5I@{~z;,?Rd.iC^5\NYB)y˗|yL&r0 r?eO8I#+OWo;7卷ο Viz͹w\.m`YWX TҪ -- /6S ZZW=Ҙ\ů&`[n%ZCV'[M(Esd8y^F#A<$ҵleY; 7Eı:rOQ^W*7CSڙI1̴:[; brrͽ }F(TcV.LI:.P&R\S\<%Ǥk9qzg62(PP/ۗ&U{DOr}%#Ү~Y*A=?m6'fvcڥB=WO(D~*9O5q 4{.( QP9[qW妁͐Qɕ~QPL[ɗ|+06Z<XI~_u vp,zߧ'կt i?'cC5̋p%#qk(,5yU+ywdo^K#*U9n08^\ҫ;@Y7$;?mn:9X4hkFo}7׽#(==?+=#([5rܤ` m*<7@sqY4:0umزN \ S>No> t5d2~:Z2|zO9i'oˍO|5hmLSÐngl"˄w?*o'6q3Rnmѫ+S֒SAnyfHƹH9miww;[@?x|q}/YfY%GmtHɦqQz`,Hu!'0Nh7,<,p7tsf: `@#cw#Q|^ֱܳD=(j6ŀ$mz냮T$@B3*#P3ـuHI:DgNWƶ< W97 ;}V1k~P1[/G`jU֝Ƌr?cIȪ,j j-M+ꟃ$>jɭedZbe hi<9X:qF}/4&fX#Psou,wN~" 8Bf/Q?%hn_7ixTG죐͑-Rl %*W[m %A_c=2]ނ D:׮  ,EYPrq+ EB)V4*9hgFgz}9*IݦJ;@U:"h2֟&-LzΟu6]M$!_FA|K%[FxUo7=TE[`8 vGf?/Z|d8BQ{M%4fv҄}>G_zIU#^O1Kb=ET ;AhOĹ24mN0Ks^ 1Jg?icti: <(}H/2; HպDYFȐ)+XAwt;x"IxW~rVȏ雝_PP[mzq  [ ^樋`E&dEJvt!-UHD'kq;W[G||HWvZ4<[m[m7JephVu^"{7$qy؏"DBiQM旦Ŀ{GT>/&/T"l1v6;m9/.Տ S˿ RSG:.$e❑fsY[ǣ,WJpnCŔ6C C01A ?2u|u,/iH6j5Y'Q x$tw,qǦsz/yW7ނf"yr[EmkC5(h8Ia4cyRρ[Op%T`zfI$>^jM LQj|7Ρ귚:qHceE 2p?> >Quc%K(#u+u- ߓ*'}YU`CmlE]1 ~)ݟd-`١L*PYoj#ǂ^kK䱙vF1r! pι}oo4D0 }u ]6V{x/xRTC3#hG$e W&xedoAIbqzMULhF+4o9Ai)`8ْzӠsEsxb1OENt弼),:}1ͮm&Y*'툁2rYkD@~tQoS^'b.S&31U򯛧%5 h1ސXa Fk}蟦!: ٧ٻZJ,VzޙT=iO+j2$ 6H3<]zZVo HɆ ھn8YG~;DA!*ݸ0Ay.YSw1Ǔn CKOm̬'CCC|ӥAer $Ċ@lt YyKЂ% ō04lqg)qZҖڃFq6? %C 9ث!3*[@I!#Ets/BM׊xɾ1spVVࣔsk
