Do some female Olympic gymnasts get shots to delay puberty to help them compete better?
This has been a claim put forth by some in Olympic circles. However, the administration of such hormonal treatments (or more properly anti-hormonal treatments) would mean gymnasts could risk being declared ineligible. Intensive physical training can itself affect normal maturation, as well as contributing to hormonal imbalances that can result in such conditions as osteoporosis.
The district nurse said something about how gymnasts get delayed puberty Is this true and why?
Occasionally, this can be true. However, it is not only gymnasts. Any athlete who competes in a physically-active sport, esepcially moreintense ones like dance or gynmanstics, may delay puberty. This could be because their bodies are often very muscular and thin, as a result of the intense workouts and training. This has an effect on the amount of hormones in the body, which can delay puberty. This is not true in all cases, though, and if it does happen it can happen for a number of other reasons or with other sports, too.
