Great post from and Weightlifting for kids.
・・・
Weightlifting can stunt a child's growth. This is probably the most common fear surrounding kids and weightlifting. There’s concern that weightlifting will cause the growth plates in a child’s bones to fuse together prematurely, which will in turn hinder their overall growth.....
●The other concern is that weightlifting can somehow fracture growth plates, and consequently stunt growth that way.
But no proof exists that either of these worries are valid.......
●Further, according to the American College of Sports Medicine and AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) , a growth plate fracture from weightlifting hasn’t been reported in any research study. NO EVIDENCE EXISTS that suggests weightlifting inhibits a child’s growth.......
●Growth plate fractures are extremely rare and require a severe amount of trauma, more than a child would ever experience lifting weights safely......
●The injury rate for weightlifting was .013 injuries per thousand practice hours. For soccer it was 1.3 injuries per thousand participation hours. So your kid is 100 times more likely to get injured playing soccer than lifting weights......
●In fact, your kid is more likely to get injured playing soccer or baseball than they are lifting weights. Contrary to popular belief, weightlifting is one of the safest physical activities to take part in, for folks of any age....
●Bottom line: when done with proper form, coaching, programming and strict supervision, weightlifting is an incredibly safe activity for your kid to do.
