What exercises are good for children to grow taller?

Now that living standards have improved, the average height of children is also increasing, and basically they are developing well. Despite this, many parents still want their children to grow taller. In addition to supplementing their children with nutrition, they also want their children to exercise actively. So, what are the exercises that help children grow taller? For some exercises that can help children grow taller, let’s take a look at the detailed introduction below.

(1) Research data shows that children who regularly participate in sports can be about 4cm taller than those who do not. The reason why exercise plays an important role in promoting height is that the secretion of growth hormone in the human body will increase significantly after exercise, and growth hormone is directly related to the growth of babies. Not all exercises can promote height growth. Only clever exercises can achieve the effect of promoting height growth.

(2) Skillful exercises refer to stretching exercises, jumping exercises, and swimming. Stretching exercises can promote the secretion of growth hormone; swimming is a special stretching exercise; jumping exercises can stimulate the growth bands or growth lines (the epiphyseal plates) at the lower end of the femur and the upper end of the tibia. When the epiphyseal plates are stimulated, the proliferation of bone cells will be accelerated, thereby promoting bone growth. Jumping exercises include skipping rope, jumping rubber bands, hopscotch, high jump, etc. Avoid weight-bearing exercises such as weightlifting and barbell exercises, as these exercises are not conducive to height growth. Babies under 2 years old cannot perform jumping exercises. They can only choose stretching exercises (such as rhythmic gymnastics) and swimming. Only babies over 2 years old can perform jumping exercises.

Smart exercise also includes moderate exercise and exercising 1 hour before going to bed at night. The amount of exercise should not make you tired. Excessive or excessive exercise will inhibit the secretion of growth hormone and affect your height. Regular exercise one hour before going to bed at night can promote the secretion of growth hormone and improve sleep quality. It also promotes the secretion of growth hormone during sleep.

What are some exercises that help children grow taller? There are certain differences in the types of sports suitable for children of different ages. For very young children, just let them move around more. For slightly older children, they can be allowed to run, jump rope, go out and play football, play ball, and so on.
