|
|
Can lifting weights stunt the growth of a child? I always heard when I was in school that weight lifting would stunt one's growth. Are there certain hormones or a biological process that happens when one lifts weights that could have an affect on a growing kid? Could the stress of lifting heavy weights be harmful to the growing bones of a child? Could stress fractures result? _________________ What type of health insurance should a young, individual get? |
