Can weight lifting stunt your growth if you 15 years old?

Answer 1

No, it does not stunt growth. The ends of the bone are still growing when young, and some people thought that if the bone was broken your growth would be stunted, but this is undocumented. Lifting is very beneficial at all ages.

Answer 2

* First, it's important never to make major changes in your exercise or dietary patterns without obtaining your physician's approval in advance. In other words, check with your physician. Unless you have some physical anomaly, he or she is likely to encourage you. * Second, it's critical to learn proper exercise technique. For example, do not bounce at the bottom of squats. The last thing you want to do is to injure your joints. * Third, don't try to design a set of exercise [a routine] for yourself. Find an expert who has designed a set for beginners.

If you follow these tips, you not only won't stunt your growth, but you will benefit yourself in many ways.

Answer 3

obviously each individual is different, but for some people 15 is the minimum age to start, 16 for others.
