Research: Does weight training stunt the growth of adolescents?
Hey guys
I am 16 years old and I am currently in a maths and science oriented high school in Melbourne, and we had a pretty cool opportunity to take up a new VCE subject where we conduct a University like research investigation. So I decided to make my topic on a very commonly thrown around assertion that weight training as an adolescent will stunt the growth of their epiphyseal plates (my research will be directed at males).
I personally do partake in pretty regular weight training, I started at the age of 15, so while I must keep in mind to avoid any bias I am pretty keen on coming to a sound conclusion on the topic to answer the question once and for all!
After a few months of preparation and background reading I have decided on a method of research (had to consider the limited time and resources available) and have got it approved. Now I have begun collecting data which is where you guys come in…
I have an anonymous online survey that requires responses from males aged between 21-40 years old regardless of whether you partook in weight training or not.
I need quite a large number of responses for my data collection to be successful so I would really appreciate if you guys could take like 5 minutes out of your day to do the survey!

Thanks guys!
PS- sorry if this is not in the right location, I wanted to post in the non-school section but it wouldn't let me.
