Will Exercise Stunt a Child's Growth?

Ahhh, the question arises of the new age. While studying to become a personal trainer who has learned the answer to this question that has been much debate in recent years.

I'll start by saying that I'm not super scientific jargon. For now, if you read my posts, you'll notice that I'll make it simple and easy for everyone. If for any reason not to trust my judgment or things that I post, get on the Internet. I promise to be 100% accurate at all times. If you do not know something I say or do not write about it at all. I know about this issue in the student at school while being a certified personal trainer.

Epiphyseal growth plate or if the plate is a plate means at each end of a long bone made ​​of hyaline cartilage. Sorry for the scientific terms. The plate was found in children and adolescents; in adults, if the plate is replaced by a line from conjugation.

The growth plate is responsible for longitudinal bone growth. The plates are in constant division by mitosis. These daughter cells called chondryocytes stacked against the epiphysis while the older cells are pushed to the tree .. Since older chondrocytes degenerate, osteoblasts ossify residues to form new bone. Towards the end of puberty, the epiphyseal cartilage cells stop duplicating and the entire cartilage is slowly replaced by bone, leaving only a thin line. Once you reach adulthood can not grow. The growth plate is often the primary site of infection and fractures.

With all that being said, you may ask, "What does all this mean Mumbo Jumbo" Well, I'm about to break it down for you super simple. The only way to stop the growth of children work would be if they broke a bone at the site of the growth plate where growth actually occurs. probability of that happening is zero. actually, I read somewhere that less than 7-10% of ruptures that actually happens in the growth plate. It is very rare. A broken bone elsewhere and will be great for their growth.

Scientists and experts have actually concluded that exercise actually causes the body to grow faster in the steps before and during puberty. Hormone HGH or human growth that is released when you go to sleep is the main factor is as follows.

So you can be sure your child (ren) must start or if he / she has never lifted a weight in his life ask. Propose bodyweight exercises for the first minimum of 6 months. That they and their bodily sensations and movements that go with weightlifting trend.

Examples of bodyweight exercises would be squats, pushups, dips, squats, crunches, yoga and plyometrics. Once you develop a little strength, balance and a good core so they are ready for the weight in my opinion. Start light and see how they fit and use your own judgment to decide when they are ready to move on to more difficult exercises and weight.
