      Hi @gundersaur,

      hmmm, interesting question!
      Too much high impact exercise such as running will damage your joints, but I’ve not heard of it stunting growth. Lower impact sports such as swimming however allow you to load your muscles and therefore get stronger and fitter without harming your joints.
