Your child isn’t growing tall? It's because parents don't let their children do these things

Every parent wants their child to be tall and big. Although 70% to 80% of a child's height is due to genetics, moderate nutritional supplementation and adequate exercise are still very helpful for growth. Regular physical exercise during a minor not only helps growth, but also improves the body's blood circulation, enhances nutrient absorption, and improves the growth ability of bone cells.

Data shows that Chinese teenagers seriously lack physical exercise. Therefore, parents must encourage their children to exercise more and pay attention to protective measures. First of all, you should actively participate in various forms of sports, including running, jumping, turning, etc., which can promote the development of bones and muscles throughout the body. Don't just limit yourself to a single sport such as basketball, running, and swimming. Secondly, you should exercise scientifically and pay attention to protective measures to prevent damage to bones and osteophytes. During exercise, it is best to ensure that the heart rate reaches 120-140 beats/minute, and it is advisable to exercise until the child sweats, has a fever, and has a rosy face. Finally, make sure your child gets enough sleep. Adolescent growth and development is related to the secretion of male hormones, growth hormones, etc., which often reach their peak secretion in the early morning, so it is necessary to ensure that children get enough sleep.

Below is a detailed introduction to several common exercises that can help children grow taller.

1. Jog for 10 minutes.

Doing flexibility and relaxation training for 20 minutes, including splits, bending forward and backward, shaking the body, etc., can accelerate the body's metabolism, improve various physiological abilities of the body, and help children grow taller.

2. Jumping training.

You can let your child practice jumping training more than 200 times a day, such as jumping up and touching the height, jumping up with both feet and jumping up on one foot alternately, and jumping as high as possible. Running and jumping are weight-bearing exercises that can stimulate the proliferation of epiphyseal cartilage in the lower limbs, but it is best to combine them with some whole-body exercises. Jumping can easily affect the development of the feet and have a greater impact on the knee and ankle joints. You should wear elastic shoes to protect the joints. Children aged 5 to 10 can choose to skip rope, which takes less time but consumes more energy. It can stimulate bones, promote bone growth, consume excess fat, and improve sense of balance and reaction.

3. Swimming.

When swimming, the movements of kicking the legs and stretching the spine as well as the buoyancy of water are very beneficial to the growth of the spine and limb bones. Children aged 4 to 8 can learn to swim.

4. Pull-ups.

It can stretch the spine and promote the growth of spinal bones. You can also hang on the horizontal bar, holding it for 20 to 30 seconds each time.

5. Ball sports.

Basketball, volleyball, badminton, etc. are all good whole-body exercises. There is basically no risk of overexertion for children when playing ball sports, as long as they do not get too tired the next day. Do relaxation exercises after exercise, such as jogging for a while, and pay attention to drinking water during exercise.

6. Stretching exercise.

One parent can hold the hands, and the other can hold the feet, and gently pull the body in opposite directions at the same time, for 20 seconds each time.
