A member asked:
Can heavy sports training (such as figure skating every day) stunt a child's growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Obviously if it is overdone, it may result in fatigue but sports are a normal part of growing up. I do, however, deplore the coach who pushes too hard to serve his own ego.
