Abstract in brief
Resistance training programs for pre and early pubertal youth generally improve muscular strength without affecting growth in height and weight.
Most studies used isotonic machines and free weights over 8 to 12 weeks, and gains in strength were lost with detraining; injury rates were low and injuries were rarely reported.
Supervised resistance training with appropriate equipment and low instructor-to-participant ratios is considered safe for young adolescents and does not impair their growth or maturation.]
Firstly it is perfectly safe for children to resistance train.
Resistance training has a very low risk of injury compared to other sports, & does not stunt growth, this is simply a myth & is not supported by science.

@thesquadgawd @CoachStinton @CoachFieszel Actually this is a very common misconception, youth can train just as effectively as adults as long as supervision is present and focus, intent, and technique is there. This article goes into more depth on “growth stunting” https://t.co/W3OiyVlbfo

@TheJoeySwoll Doctor of PT here. For all those saying weightlifting is *dangerous* for children, you are wrong.
https://t.co/4ZFy4j8p2R
Just one study. Plenty more.
I don’t see any of you freaking out when 10 & 11 yo boys start lifhting heavy weights in preparation for HS sports. https://t.co/Ef3marpdaY

Conclusion: Experimental training protocols with weights and resistance machines and with supervision and low instructor/participant ratios are relatively safe and do not negatively impact growth and maturation of pre- and early-pubertal youth.
@bjersky Oh, I get it—sorry I misunderstood. No, I think that idea has been debunked. Actually playing sports like basketball and jumping creates hundreds of pounds of force when landing and decelerating—way more than in the weight room in most cases.

@CarnifexFranchu @Superbarsafan @anadeaustria_ Un persona no me ha enseñado nada. Ha dicho que conoce dos casos y yo le he pedido más información.
A mi me encanta aprender, y por cosas como esta, sé que hacer pesas no es malo:
https://t.co/NAfXUHWm51
@Jorge_tzz @anadeaustria_ Bueno yo te puedo aportar algo que justifique que es un mito. Que puedes aportar tu aparte de insultos?
https://t.co/NAfXUHWm51
@alexandervkd5 @anadeaustria_ Busca la definición de atrofia porque lo que has dicho no tiene sentido.
Pues que lo niños no vayan a un parque a jugar, o que no corran, porque eso crea fuerzas excesivas.
También puedes echarle un vistazo a esto y educarte un poco sobre el tema:
https://t.co/NAfXUHWm51
@LogslyOficial @anadeaustria_ https://t.co/NAfXUHWm51
https://t.co/JdlzUZk4xP
Por lo que me he informado sobre el tema, hoy en día sabemos que no afecta.
La gente piensa en las pesas en los niños como also dañino, como que su cuerpo no está preparado y van a tener lesiones o problemas de desarrollo. Pero
@theastays @linalitis @MelliWater https://t.co/sD3lMp1zt2 if it doesn’t affect growing children and teens, then it’s safe to say it shouldn’t affect adults either. Please don’t spread misinformation.

@libertyjunky420 It’s not brother. There’s studies on kids as young as 6. I wouldn’t recommend that but a 14 year old volleyball player is more likely to get hurt playing volleyball than resistance training. Kids should be supervised by someone who has a clue through.

@Jayforce @4theculture____ that is a myth that has been debunked. lifting does NOT stunt their growth. obviously if they are young it's better to focus on form over weight.

3/n - height is a heritable trait - you get it from your parents. We have evidence to prove that weights do not stunt growth & stretching does not increase height! @943RadioOne.
