Do akle wieghts effect your hieght because I'm 13 and 5'4 and I have 2o pound ankle weights.?

Answer 1

No, ankle weights will not effect your height. Your height is determined by bone growth which is determined (not only by DNA) but by growth plates. These plates are at the end portion, below the head, of your bones. These growth plates stay active until you exit puberty. This is another reason why children ages 15 and below should avoid wheight lifting except for conditioning purposes.
As a further suggestion, when you wear the weights to run, do not wear them on your ankles, but on your wrists instead. You will recieve the same benefits of weight resistance, but will avoid injuries such as bone spurs, which can occur when ankle weights are worn.

Answer 2

Good answer from LTin2000. To go a little bit further - if you're trying to jump higher, the best way to do that is to jump - ALOT.

You are a little young to weight train - your muscles/bone structure is still growing.

You'll get bored with jump training, unless you try different ways of doing things. Here are some ideas:

Jump Rope - 2 Minutes without a miss, then start working on double jumps and tricks. Use a weighted rope!!!
Cone Jump - Get a cone and jump over it. See how many times that you can jump over it in 20 seconds. Buckets work good too.
Tire jumps - Like Football players do - this gets your feet up and down quickly.
Touch jumps - 3 sets of 25 jumps where you reach up and try to touch as high as you can - but stay on the ground as little as possible - don't let your heels touch.

Answer 3

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?
