Can you grow taller by jumping rope?

I believe that many adults are not very satisfied with their height and hope that they can grow taller, so they often choose to increase their height through skipping rope, playing basketball, or other sports. Today, the editor will explain to you in detail whether adjustments can help people grow taller? Next, let’s follow the editor to take a look!

A person's height is determined by the growth and development of bones. At both ends of long bones, there is a type of epiphyseal cartilage that is specifically responsible for bone growth. In minors, the epiphyseal cartilage continues to proliferate and the bones continue to grow; after adulthood, the proliferation stops and the person no longer grows. Before the epiphyseal cartilage stops growing, regular and appropriate physical exercise can help stimulate the growth of the epiphyseal cartilage. Therefore, for children and teenagers, physical exercise is the most active and effective way to promote height growth.

In addition, regular physical exercise can improve the body's blood circulation, enhance the body's absorption of nutrients, and improve the growth ability of bone cells; mechanical force can promote calcium precipitation in the bones, making the bones become thicker and stronger. Surveys and studies by medical experts show that children who regularly participate in physical exercise are on average 4 to 8 centimeters taller than children of the same age who do not exercise. Scientists recommend that adolescent children should exercise for at least 1 hour a day.

Generally speaking, the most effective exercises are jumping, running, high reach, free gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, swimming, skipping rope and pull-ups. Running, jumping, and weight-bearing exercises can mainly stretch muscles and ligaments and stimulate the proliferation of epiphyseal cartilage; pull-ups can stretch the spine, stretch it as far as possible, and promote the proliferation of spinal bones; when swimming, stretching the spine, squeezing the legs, and the buoyancy of water are very beneficial to the growth of spinal bones and limb bones.

For high-intensity sports, such as competitions or strength training with heavy weights, the intervals between each exercise should be longer, and the total exercise time should not be too long to avoid excessive fatigue; for low-intensity projects, such as slow walking, skipping rope, etc., the exercise time can be relatively extended to fully stimulate the muscles, joints and bones.

It is worth noting that a person's height is also affected by endocrine. Therefore, teenagers should avoid excessive exercise to avoid affecting their sleep and disrupting their endocrine system. In addition, strengthening nutrition is also an important part of making the body grow taller. While strengthening exercise, it is necessary to replenish the bone-building materials - gelatin and inorganic salts in a timely and sufficient manner.

Because a person's height is also affected by endocrine, the editor reminds young people not to overdo it when exercising. If you want to have a healthy body, you need to develop good living habits and eating habits in normal times, and strengthen nutrition in normal times. This is also an important part of growing taller. I hope to listen to Mr. Liu's help after the editor's introduction above.
