Na rast ti utice iskljucivo genetika i podloga - sto se zdravije hranis i sto vise vjezbas svoje tijelo - vece su sanse da ces postici maksimalni genetski potencijal za visinu. S druge strane, ako pusis, neaktivan si i lose se hranis, imas manje sanse da dosegnes maksimalnu genetsku visinu.
Teretana, i bilo koji sport, mogu samo pomoci, jer stimulisu lucenje STH (somatotropni hormon iliti hormon rasta), kao i niz drugih hormona koji pozitivno uticu na razvoj tijela.
Sto se tice mita o "sabijanju" tijela zbog tezine, u tekstu je i to fino objasnjeno - prilikom trcanja (koje se sastoji od malih skokova) i skakanja (odbojka, kosarka...), na tijelo djeluju oko 6x jace sile nego kada miruje, tacnije, sile ga "sabijaju" prema zemlji prilikom svakog doskoka. Jesi li primjetio da su ti sportisti nesto niski? Kada skocis sa svojih 70 kilograma, na doskoku imas barem 2-3 puta vise tezine od stvarne, taj shok i sabijanje su mnogo jaci od onog kada uradis cucanj sa 50-60 kg dodatne tezine (cucanj je jedna od rijetkih vjezbi gdje se tovaris tezinom "odozgo" to jeste, gdje postoji to famozno "sabijanje"), tako da je jasno sta stvara jace sabijanje.
The National Strength and Conditioning Association, one of the world's premiere exercise authorities, has taken the position that properly designed weight training is safe for children and young teenagers. Likewise, Dr. William Kraemer of the University of Connecticut believes the same and has published books about youth weight training. Neither authority believes that weight training affects height growth. Citiraj:
Does Weight Lifting Stunt Growth in Height?
I get this question all the time: "I'm in my teens and I want to start weight lifting. But someone recently told me that weightlifting can stunt my growth. Is this true?"
It's seems this myth will never die. But I will try again to kill it.
The whole notion of growth being stunted by weight lifting is a myth. It didn't stunt the growth of Shaquille O'Neal, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Michael Vick, etc. They all started
lifting in their early teens, and all have gone on to be well over 6' tall and star in professional sports.
Dave Draper and Arnold Schwarzenegger started lifting very young and both are 6'1" or taller. Lou Ferrigno started working out at 14 years old at the height of 5' 9" and grew to 6' 5" - taller then anyone in his family!
So the answer is no, weightlifting does not stunt height growth, or any other kind of growth, for that matter. There is no scientific evidence to support such ideas and, in fact, books such as the Russian, School of Height, suggest that weight training may stimulate growth. The latest weight training studies done on teens showed only positive effects.
I'd also point out that activities such as running and jumping create forces on the body that are six to eight times one's body weight. The compression forces on his legs and spine are far
greater in running and jumping than they will ever be in squatting or pressing over head.
Not only will proper weight training not stunt growth, it allows teens to grow up with stronger muscles and bones, along with a healthy lifestyle. It certainly benefits any other sport they
engage in.
Even though proper weight training protocols will not inhibit growth, the risk for such occurrences and injuries are just like anything else. If you have proper instruction and a
well-organized program,,your chances are very low.
It is important to learn the basics of weight training and get medical clearance from your doctor before you begin.
Careful attention should be paid to correct weightlifting form, and not using too much weight or too much stress placed on the joints. This is still true, of course for everyone, regardless
of age, and no one should ever try to do more weight than they can reasonably lift, otherwise injury can occur.
Correct technique will reduce any risk of injury and develop your strength more effectively than not training with proper technique. The greatest benefits and smallest risks occur when 8 to 15 repetitions can be performed with a given weight before adding weight in small increments.
Remember if you are going to exercise regularly always do a warm up followed by some stretching. After your workout take 5-10 minutes to cool down and do some more gentle stretching. Studies have shown that people who warm up and cool down adequately have far fewer injuries.
