3. Strength training at a young age can stunt growth
Some people are afraid to let their children strength train as they fear it will stunt their growth. This simply isn’t true. Also, your kid should be just fine as long as they train under the supervision of professionals. In fact, strength training during childhood has several benefits; it increases the bone density in girls and helps prevent the onset of osteoporosis later on in life. It is also a good way to ease overweight children into a pattern of regular exercise.
