There is some disagreement as to whether a child taking part in gymnastics will have stunted growth. Some people believe that long hours of training, or injury prior to puberty may cause damage to the growth plates in bones and cause them to close before the individual has reached their full height. Therefore, the age at which the child begins puberty would be the age when growth would not be affected.
