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 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 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 |H~"ڪo/ '4[^kY]&nW+x朜 Z M("J{C4^~%P*HyehiS.ޣŸ:z`@BV"Xa|~Y&UD:&ߓپYj8_;6JAN.3 ūi 3<.O-aOYq'rMC>;%?/EjhO`Xyv[]1`[X.iF[~FO#_Lj^C.˄GŌci@#4>YU|~,~̕ J.3]ѭtK{hRuPZiUPO?f I2RI 'G,A_''_t_[4- z9E[XK2@?VXC.K"Xߪ="?9Sw񀟆t %g 6/mEʴ9=mL8]I"FB2g0~E?XF1p2d qHh+yT0 $j^zoΖyG[}Sg3%:?sXl3#L@d:nr(h:R?2 >w pJ{.e0j #3Rbr $4%&'()*56789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz4V]զ~k/a"r-SvU'›bo+Sڔ5|0aǚY&I3#ql#5!O>2{䇐RG'KzM k?UP8]T/~vuݫ_!qeT 6r̚4JWF+O=`LLMLj`÷tRܔ7Af? ?J ĊTS!><<iDlF mgpL2"M3Q~!r<͒j(vC`e}@2TLH :3ǷmƟ_as-뻋{MԋKv4yk\N3 b i]ЀɲP`nW^N>QUT-nH~?KqX琲됭G ixkNh9E7~@zoXϓ5)wr9x!
