Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intense endurance or resistance training can lead to mechanical injury which can cause premature closure of the growth plate. This is a long-standing medical concern as it can affect a child's future growth and development. Skeletal muscles growing faster than bones (option A) is not a concern, as bones and muscles grow in coordination during growth and development. Permanent cardiopulmonary damage (option C) is not a common concern for children participating in intense endurance or resistance training, as long as proper safety measures and training protocols are followed.
