Question 1

can eating good and more and weight lifting speed up puberty and growth spurt?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Bad nutrition and lack of exercise can impair growth, while good nutrition and moderate exercise permits you to grow to your potential height. Extra weight lifting may increase muscle mass but it will not increase the rate of puberty or final height. Performance enhancing supplements have no benefit either, except to give you extra acne and similar side effects.

Question 2

will strength training and weight lifting stunt an adolescent's growth during puberty?

Accepted Answer

Basics: As long as training avoids heavy power lifting that might disturb growth plates strength training  is safe. When the kid has finished growing taller &amp; growth plates fuse, power lifting would be fine. The primary advice for safe workouts is to have proper guidance in learning/performing lifts by someone trained to do so.

Question 3

what impact does weight lifting have on delayed puberty?

Accepted Answer

Healthy: In adolescents gradual increases in resistance weight is encouraged.  Do more reps than a lot of weight. If you're in puberty take it easy, limit straining and stay away from supplements. The dangers from weight training are accidents with equipment and use of inappropriate supplements. The training itself is beneficial.

Question 5

Usually: Weight lifting can be healthy. It is important that your doctor clears you to ensure that you have the health to lift weights. It is good to start out with a trainer to ensure that you are using proper technique, pacing yourself correctly and insure that you have a spotter when safety dictates it.

Question 6

does puberty cause night sweats?

Accepted Answer

No: Night sweats are just sweats at night, and day sweats are sweats in the daytime. That means any person with a febrile illness can have fever, chills, and sweats... day or night.
