How can I grow taller by doing fitness?

With the continuous improvement of living standards, we will go to some gyms to exercise after busy work, but if the exercise method is wrong, it will be useless. For people who are not tall, the problem that has always bothered them is how to grow taller through fitness? What kind of fitness methods can promote height growth? Next, let us learn about this issue together. After understanding this, we can also master more techniques on how to grow taller.

When it comes to growing taller, many people only think of nutritional supplements, height-increasing shoes, etc. In fact, there is another very important point in growing taller, which is fitness exercise.

Factors that affect height

Height is affected by many factors, which can be summed up in two aspects: genetics and environment. Among them, genetics has the greatest impact on height, accounting for about 70%. Environmental factors include nutrition, sleep, exercise, disease and environmental pollution. In general, genetics, sleep, nutrition and exercise are the four main factors affecting height. If you are past the age of height growth, taking height-increasing drugs containing hormones will cause your bones and joints to grow fatter and bigger, which will not only prevent you from growing taller but will also be harmful.

Exercise is beneficial to the secretion of growth hormone at night

Exercise can directly promote the secretion of growth hormone, and can also promote the secretion of growth hormone during sleep on the night of exercise. At the same time, moderate exercise can increase appetite, give you healthy sleep, and help you grow taller. After practicing it, someone said: "Sleep after proper exercise is like a baby's sleep."

Exercise can make people grow taller, but not all exercise can make people grow taller.

1. Sports that are beneficial to height growth: volleyball, basketball, football, ballet, aerobics, stretching gymnastics, skipping rope, and jogging.

2. Exercises that are not conducive to height growth: weightlifting, weight-bearing training, excessive exercise, and exercise that consumes too much energy (marathons, etc.).

After understanding that some exercises can effectively increase height, I will give some specific methods of increasing height:

1. Draping method:

Hold the horizontal bar tightly with both hands and let your body hang in the air. It is best if your toes can lightly touch the ground when hanging down, and then do pull-ups. Boys can do it 10-15 times a day. Girls can do it 2-5 times a day.

The key points of the exercise are:

Exhale as you pull yourself up, and inhale as you slowly lower yourself down. After completing the exercise, walk around to relax your muscles. After your hands are relaxed, clench your fists tightly, place your hands in front of your chest, then loosen your fingers, then open your eyes, open your mouth, relax your brows, relax your facial muscles, and then lie on the bed to relax the muscles in your back and arms. In short, learn to exert maximum effort and relax as much as possible.

After practicing the hanging method for a while, you can do incremental stretching on this basis. The method is to hang for 20 seconds first, then tie a 5 kg sandbag to each leg, and hang for another 20 seconds; after that, fix it to the horizontal bar with a belt, hang for 15 seconds, then put on a 10 kg iron sand vest, and hang for another 15 seconds. However, time and weight are not absolute and may vary from person to person.

Although we cannot generalize about how to grow taller through fitness, we do know a general way of fitness. If we have the financial means, we can also hire a private trainer to provide comprehensive training specifically for our own defects. People from poor family conditions do not have to worry, because with the development of medical technology today, it is not difficult to grow taller, and there is still a chance to grow taller even after puberty.
