When is the best time to run to grow taller?

Many of our friends like running. For those who are in the critical period of bone development, appropriate and comprehensive running is very beneficial to bone growth. Regular physical exercise can also effectively enhance blood circulation, thereby enhancing the body's absorption of various nutrients, which is also very beneficial for bone development. The following editor will introduce how to run to help increase height.

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 must pay attention to moderation when exercising. Long-term excessive exercise may affect the quality of sleep and cause endocrine disorders. At the same time, they should also supplement adequate nutrition, especially moderate supplementation of gelatin, inorganic salts, calcium and other substances that are very beneficial to bone development.
