growth being stunted questions? |
|---|---|
| What are the only ways u can stunt ur growth?
what are ways and signs that indicate stunted growth? Can lifting heavy things during school hours affect ur growth, eg ur school bag, sport bag, guitar and amplifier during school time? Can scoliosis stunt growth? Can u recover from a growth plate fracture without any treatment? Can a trauma (human punch) in backbone, or in the elbow or in the knee affect the growh plates so u'd eventually stunted ur growth? What are the chances of breaking growth plates? Can sports REALLY help ur body to grow better? Can free weighting affect growth? Can lifting something really heavy for a very short time affect ur growth? |

| You apparently have very little knowledge of anatomy. There are no such things as "growth plates", so any questions regarding them aren't worth answering.
Growth can be stunted by poor nutrition, and some diseases, disorders and drugs. Alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine are commonly said to stunt growth, but I have never personally seen any scientific medical studies regarding that. heavy lifting for extended periods of time, as far as I know, only causes spinal compression, which is remedied by resting in a horizontal position for a few hours each day (i.e.: sleeping in a bed). Exercise and weightlifting do not affect skeletal growth, only muscular. |
