One myth about sport every parent should know

The Team from ACC New Zealand

All parents and grandparents should be aware of this myth about youth sport: Following an intensive training programme in a single sport at a young age does not increase your kid’s chances of becoming a world champion.

A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential mental health issues in later life.

Kelp clinging to the rocky South Otago coast has shown scientists the destructive power of a magnitude 7-plus earthquake that hit the region about 1000 years ago.

DNA testing of kelp at Taieri Beach, at the northern end of an uplifted zone where the Akatore Fault reaches the coast, reveals a "clear genetic difference" from kelp on adjacent shoreline that was not raised by the quake.

University of Otago biologist Professor Jon Waters said the research showed major historic quakes could "leave a lasting DNA signature" in terms of coastal recolonisation, just as the November 2016, magnitude 7.8, Kaikōura quake had.
