Does this now mean that we are justified in recommending that children not be llowed 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 childood, 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 reseach 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 weightlifers tend to possess more muscle mass than other athletes and that smaller athletes are attraced to the sport. In gymnastics, the average height of elite athletes has steadily declined in the past sevral Olypics 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 Nvember/December 2001 issue of the Journal of American Academy of Orthpaedic Surgeons cited research showing that in children aged 5 to 14 years, the number of injuries from bicycling was almost 400 percent greater than rom 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 9glprS)REZ+<ĔP#I ~} ,-q$P(o&V5J9H^^d-W-Z"Dn{#"I:}8^_/bTs/W$G%}kNbLR{G+C,vi$u+ucykW=(J>%u?ʁnXY1>O*NW w}t'  @sqqKZV;EJr!eIn`c<友@zi'0;PHp?8DX* x${Mit٢V>oG* z{%=m/9bd]wD/Wb_ R.4jHN'a"ب_3 H9!0 .qڹ< ^J:ޠ̠CMh}6yh%7.yL;#ID.J\0@hon v\][8П(SFq}DA{ (yQhӵͮ(v|j/-ojoV&E4wޟqW$ @ɽdp]?#MG˝JSizyI+8%I9Uzne}|X{y] 3G2T v؃ # IH12kKT9MM _=:x4]>9$8faS9d[F2gb S} ~bC2VHCMJ|%?1QDwzs4)Ѻ]ݤ'%ov;`RKm>hl\F4%NC}@1"N? 5OIᣑcjFC21H2<Є7˒"/%F \"9A1Ji jͫlږwR$=Gy@zb5տLr+?ULS i?m"򮢳sc@:t# ZFz\_hم Aڕmon-'֙ED)+^~m=tV .DrZK2_K񴢌„ dK^L3> S\;Ռ1۵L5hR4=e z828& 45I?7t:x៙X5Y&?PaW\ІZj@mkԂ@$lpNV]@ѕjm~ÔP1v̸p&"; ˡP7 CU{n"-N!Nŗ2(zdUddjmFf#M}u_N!hܲ&0.K"(D1zg&)pcv I*ǯJETF=2n rM-BӯCe-܅V#y-gDm*Kgs8]rC%,/XU"ر_Ces14#RsM[u )Ϊ?/ͷ_Tp:|p]Y||>n"21cN?F&qM_%^Т5m.vzPl6Kc[HmGMO-k"\,+܋MXzNO:l*2J(`X;ty'xh Dlg: ?d9|hF ɫ1K6Tn>dt/X'8h~Tl ~iybhH^Ԓ}i0˺'n(IZ :*QE.Ґy( JKn3Kh"_bүW+F]A @W^+uU-JƬSz/,}m{qKxePZ{fD0Js3aը؎s`ȓtXȟpW򼜨}M>m+\-QrA(_9E$0YE?sq7\27uxWIץ3-P+P+SȀyzT"?i~mm- YjS۷œ8E,҇x.&- ̶|bRN, 7=ѯmdOJp@;QS\ VD咬pk [_^$2c۱} 6(@Gb oq|`1iL5Mm$Uyj+ǂ9 ߊ['ČGc0TUGV  @JڟU+T9'?psM&!]Zҙm T(Z3lH~,}(́ Kx G#nn^ A1 V4rɨ]rH R~8e>K%O4?ڴI#oLmϛkpo-1JT^#.f8nՊӥ 'B8RzbPzGhn3zu?kњ "l 7' jmhGz0N(J6=G[; $'猦#2 te9H bHHEMyw.I*Rk73z,4|Xu~ 3$nS_0F/Ha{@6ӷOУ9/52!eDkr"Gy٦OB$a|E: חu{1ꌪ;Mh  22#{˖bL*"?-2S`=OZ%;yZ Zh؞'uh
