I'm looking for some documentation, source articles, etc. My Elementary School K-5 wants to build a running track as part of the PE program. It sticks in my head that running on a track surface is not reccomended for children because of Micro-trauma to the growth plates of long bones. Is this still current thinking and where can I find an article to prove I'm not insane when I point this out to the folks that just set aside $20,000 to do this?
