does weight training stunt height growth

[Demirs]

ive heard people say lifting weights while youre still growing can make you shorter or stunt height growth


is there actually any evidence for this or is it just a myth


im talking about normal gym training with proper form not ego lifting or getting injured

If you want to grow and work out you need to run or do activities with own weight

no, that only happens if you were to get seriously injured and fracture your growth plate but that’s extremely rare even in ego lifters
