Abstract: Adam is a 13-year-old boy who comes into the office with his mother for his preparticipation physical exam. He mentions that he wants to join the football team this year and is interested in lifting weights so he can be “as big as the other kids.” His mother is hesitant to allow this because she has heard that it will adversely affect his growth. The parents want to know if it is safe for him to lift weights and if doing so will help him achieve his goals.
