It has been a much debated topic as to whether practicing gymnastics hinders growth. In fact, proper gymnastics training does not hinder growth, but rather promotes physical growth and development. So, why do some people think that gymnastics practice can hinder growth?
It seems to us that gymnasts are not very tall, especially those who achieve higher success are on the short side. In fact, this is the result of a deliberate choice by the gymnastics coaches, because a short stature has more advantages in the sport of gymnastics.

The taller athletes are often placed in other programs because they have more difficulty completing standard gymnastic movements.
