Will Taekwondo affect children's height?

The height of children is very important, because the height standard determines the image foundation of adulthood. Therefore, children must do more actions that are conducive to height growth during their growth period. For example, it is popular for children to learn Taekwondo in modern life, because it is a martial arts exercise that has great benefits for the body. However, will children's Taekwondo training affect their height?

It is generally believed that jumping sports and general physical exercise will not suppress height, but will help increase height. Taekwondo happens to be one of these sports. Continuous training can promote bone growth and improve cardiopulmonary function. According to research by international authoritative organizations, people who have participated in Taekwondo training since childhood are 5-10 cm taller on average than those who do not participate in training when they grow up. (If a child does not grow taller after learning Taekwondo, it may have a lot to do with family genes.) The most vivid example is to see if there are short people in the Taekwondo event at the Olympics.
