Wanted to find out if training was harmful. Habitual activity growth/maturation (every day regular activity: have refuted that training has any negative effect on growth, self-selection occurs choose sports for suited to. Can only estimate because it is hard to measure (cid:523)can"t be with children all the time watching what they"re doing(cid:524) Can be assessed through interviews, questionnaires, diaries: problematic because parents have skewed opinion on what an active child is. Can only establish relationships between habitual, or extremes on growth/maturation/performance. No real relationship between physically activity and height, or big relationship between physically activity and weight (old studies)
