is it good for an 13 year old boy doing sit-up?

Question

i heard ppl saying it is not good for ur growth

Answer 1

No, it's fine. Where'd you hear that?

Very heavy, intense weight lifting isn't good for adolescents because it puts too much strain on their still-developing joints and can stunt growth.

Answer 2

With proper technique they should be fine. There has been some controversy over the crunches, sit-ups and such. This is in regards to curving or bending the spine "too much." I believed controlled good form sit ups are fine. There a lot of core exercises such as body weight exercises such as push ups, squats, leg lifts, etc.
Best of luck.

Answer 3

That's bull, if you love it do it. The only thing that might stunt your growth is heavy impact sports like gymnastics as they change your bone development I think.

If you're healthy it'll have no effect on health. In fact you may grow better.

Don't neglect the rest of your body though.

Answer 4

Sit-ups are fine. Just weight lifting and such things are bad. Sit-ups helps you grow strong! :)

Answer 5

I think you or whoever are ok as long as you don't do too many. Its the weight lifting that is hard on kids when they are not fully developed.
