Does regular running help you grow taller?

As for running, I believe everyone is familiar with it. It is a very simple and very good fitness exercise. Regular running and exercise can make people healthy and bring great benefits to people's body and mind. In addition, insisting on running can effectively lose weight. Therefore, many people like running. I believe that many people have such a question, that is, does running help to grow taller?

Can running increase height?

Exercise is a good way to promote bone growth, and running is one of them. Let’s see whether jogging can promote height growth.

Whether you can grow taller depends on your bone age. Bone age is an indicator of development. If your age is greater than your bone age, it means you have growth retardation; if your age is less than your bone age, it means you have precocious puberty, etc. Therefore, if you want to understand your growth and development, you should go to a regular hospital to take a bone age X-ray. Your doctor will judge your growth potential based on the epiphyseal closure shown on the bone age film.

Simply put, exercises that can increase appetite, promote sleep, and apply a certain degree of longitudinal pressure to bones are beneficial for growing taller. Specifically, there are jogging, skipping rope, dancing, playing basketball and volleyball, etc. However, many children who play basketball and volleyball are already very tall. If you let children who don't like these sports engage in these sports just to make them taller, you are wrong.

Because emotional stability is also important for height growth, let your children choose the sports they like. However, strenuous exercise that consumes too much physical energy is better left to high school students whose bodies have stopped growing. Bone development comes to a certain extent from longitudinal pressure, but excessive pressure (weightlifting, etc.) makes it difficult for bones to grow longitudinally.

Height is also very important for all of us. Through the article, we know that height can be increased through acquired efforts. The key is that everyone needs to understand and master the right methods, exercise correctly, and do sports correctly. I believe it will definitely bring good height-increasing effects to everyone.
