Does general abdominal muscle training affect height growth?

Perfect abdominal muscle curves are another major aesthetic basis in today's society, so more and more people are rushing to the gym to train their abdominal muscles. Not only adults, but many teenagers also cannot help but love abdominal muscle exercises. However, many parents are worried that abdominal muscle training will affect the height of minors? So does abdominal muscle training affect height growth? In response to the questions of parents and friends, let's take a look at the following content.

First of all, it is crucial to arrange a reasonable diet before muscle training. You must have enough protein intake, control fat intake, and eat less greasy food. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid excessive starch intake. Such as rice and potatoes. Eat more white meat and less red meat, such as chicken. After exercise, you can supplement some protein.

It is very important to have enough warm-up time before exercising, usually 15 minutes to half an hour, so that every part of your body can be fully activated.

Upper body muscle exercises

First, push-ups. Push-ups are basically not restricted by space and can be practiced in most places in the room. Push-ups can exercise the pectoral muscles, latissimus dorsi, triceps, biceps, and abdominal muscles. Doing push-ups in different ways can help work different muscles. Practitioners can practice according to their own situation. First, they can adopt the group practice method, with 15-40 reps in one group, and do 3 to 5 groups. During the practice, doing exercises slowly is relative strength, while doing exercises quickly is absolute strength. The distance between the hands and the chest also affects the muscle training. Friends who are in good physical condition can also place their feet on objects higher than their shoulders to increase the difficulty of the exercise. In short, push-ups are the best and easiest way to exercise your upper body muscles.

Second, sit-ups

Sit-ups must be one of the most familiar fitness exercises for everyone. It is simple and practical, and is the best exercise for exercising the waist and abdominal muscles.

Sit-ups can strengthen your abdominal muscles while also stretching your spine. A fitness report from the United States pointed out that adults who do sit-ups for a long time can grow 2-3 cm taller.

Sit-up action notes:

1. When pulling up your upper body, do not exceed 90 degrees, and when lowering your body, do not let your body touch the ground to avoid relaxing your abdominal muscles.

2. Consciously use your abdominal muscles to complete the movement.

3. You can hold dumbbells in front of your chest to increase the weight.

It is not recommended to do it every day, three to four times a week is more appropriate;

The exercise method is also to practice in groups, with 25-40 reps per group and 3 to 5 sets each time. It should be noted that you must use your waist to exert force when doing sit-ups. Try to avoid exerting force on your legs, which will affect the effect of your exercise.

Through the explanation above, I believe parents will no longer worry about whether abdominal muscle training will affect their children's height. In fact, as long as you exercise properly, it will be beneficial not only to the abdominal muscles, but also to other body functions. But I still want to solemnly remind parents that after all, children are minors, so many of their body functions have not been fully developed, so they must pay attention to the intensity and method during exercise.
