What are some exercises that help children grow taller?

Children's height is a topic of great concern to parents, especially those who are short themselves, who all want their children to grow up to be tall. In order to make their children grow taller, many parents spend a lot of time and energy buying a lot of nutritional supplements for their children. In fact, children need to exercise actively to promote their growth. So, what are the exercises that can help children grow taller? Regarding this question, please see the introduction below.

First of all, you should choose the sports that your child likes according to his or her personality and physical characteristics. Never force your child to do sports they don’t like, otherwise it will affect the child’s mood and be detrimental to his or her height growth. Based on the child's preferences, you can choose exercises such as jumping, high jump, jogging, skipping rope, cycling, shuttlecock kicking, basketball, volleyball, ballet, stretching gymnastics, swimming and pull-ups according to the child's age and motor development level. These exercises can stretch muscles and ligaments and stimulate the proliferation of epiphyseal cartilage, which is beneficial to the growth of the spine and limb bones. But we should also be careful not to rush for results, because long-term excessive and overloaded exercise can cause cartilage damage and muscle strain, which is not conducive to the normal growth and development of children.

During exercise, it is best to ensure that the child's heart rate reaches 120-140 beats/minute, and it is advisable to exercise until the child sweats, has a fever, and has a rosy complexion. Let your children do more jumping exercises, which will promote their height development much better than blindly buying height-increasing health products.
