How much taller can you grow by playing basketball?

Nowadays, people are not only considered to be rich or not, but many women are also increasingly concerned about whether their partner is tall and strong. This is what we call tall, rich and handsome. Because of this, many boys want to be taller and will try some exercise to achieve the effect of increasing height. So let's take a look at what everyone wants to know: how much can you increase your height by playing basketball?

This depends on your own physical condition and there is no definite answer.

Genetics plays a big role in height. If both parents are short, you may need to rely on diet and some exercise to help grow taller. If both parents are tall or one of them is taller, then there is a very good chance that the child will grow up to be tall. In fact, children's height grows fastest during adolescence. The reason why children's height does not develop during childhood is largely due to the perfection of various organs. At this time, just pay attention to nutrition and provide children with a good living environment.

Experts say that the key to height lies in the length of the long bones of the lower limbs and the growth and development of the spine. From the perspective of human anatomy, the long bones of the limbs are tubular bones with cartilage between the two ends and the bone body (in infancy, each bone has a growth point or ossification center), called epiphyseal cartilage.

When a person is at rest, it takes 20 to 25 seconds for blood to circulate throughout the body, which is shortened to 8 to 9 seconds during exercise.

Physical exercise can also increase oxygen intake by 7 to 12 times. For adolescents aged 15 to 20, the respiratory rate can be

The rate increases from 18 to 20 times per minute to 30 to 40 times per minute, and the lung ventilation volume increases to 70 to 120 liters. When the blood has sufficient oxygen and the blood flow rate is faster, it can provide sufficient raw materials to bone cells.

In addition to providing sufficient raw materials for the proliferation of epiphyseal cartilage and giving it a beneficial "mechanical massage", appropriate exercise can also play a good role in changes in the morphological structure and function of bones. For example, the thickening of bone compactum makes the bones thicker and stronger; the arrangement of trabeculae becomes more neat and regular according to different pressures and tensions; the protrusions of muscle attachment on the bone surface become more obvious, etc. These changes can greatly improve the bone's pulling, compressing, torsion, bending and rupture resistance.

The basketball hoop is built 3.05 meters above the ground. A series of actions such as shooting, blocking, and stealing the ball in the air are all completed while stretching upward. The process of completing this action helps to increase height to a certain extent. Yao Ming loves basketball so much that it can be said that his height of 2.29 meters is inseparable from basketball.

After the above introduction, everyone should know that playing basketball can actually have a certain effect of increasing height. However, the genes given by parents also have a great influence on the human body, so if there is no change after persisting for a period of time, don't force it too much. Generally, boys who develop during puberty will grow well due to exercise or a proper diet, so children's health is inseparable from a proper diet.
