Skipping For Adolescents
Hello Is it true that skipping is not good for adolescents because it increases hips ?
Tue, 21 Jun 2011
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Skipping will not increase your hip width. Skipping is alright if done in proper method, without straining the back bone. There are small cushions called disks, in-between the vertebrae, which absorb shock on the axial skeleton. Skipping may cause disk problem in later life if not done properly. Skipping should be done with a light foot, working as cushion rather than straining the vertebral column.
