Can running, jogging, cycling, stunt your growth?!


Question:

Can running, jogging, cycling, stunt your growth?

I've read that activities such as running and jogging create forces on the body that are six to eight times your body weight and compression forces on legs and spine are greater than things like weightlifting. So will it stunt/slow down a teenage girls growth?
