A member asked:
Can knee-strengthening exercises damage growth plates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. The typical quadricep or hamstring toning exercises do not interfere with growth or growth plates. Poorly monitored use of weightlifting equipment to maximize lifts can cause subtile injury to growth plates.
