This kind of problem is understandable, and adolescence is in the growth stage. Many people worry that going to the gym to lift iron will affect their height development. But is this really the case?
First of all, I want to say that the most important factors affecting height are genes and heredity. Of course, there are other aspects, but they are all small.
1. Keane
If your parents are less than 1.7 meters tall, you can hardly become a big basketball player. In short, although genes are not the only factor that determines your height, they largely determine your upper limit.
2. Epiphyseal plate (growth plate)
This guy named epiphyseal plate is at both ends of the joint. With the growth of age, they will continue to harden and will not grow taller after closing.
Yes, lifting iron may hurt these soft guys, but any other exercise (except swimming) will hurt them, even more seriously than lifting iron. For example, football, or basketball, any collision or change of direction may cause damage to your bones. Only if you can lift the iron in the right posture can you minimize the chance of bone injury.
3. Nutrition
To tell the truth, whether the nutritional intake is sufficient is the key factor that determines whether you can continue to grow taller. For various reasons, many students themselves can't guarantee the comprehensive intake of nutrients. Coupled with high-intensity training, it is not surprising that they don't grow. After all, how can you make a house thick and tall if you don't even have bricks?
In addition, if your body is in the growing period, your metabolism is naturally extremely strong, and you have done extra training, then it is very likely that the reason why you have not gained weight or grown up is not enough calories, so the next time you go to the cafeteria to cook, you should cook more dishes and a bowl of rice.
4. Growth hormone
The human body secretes a growth hormone (HGH), which plays a key role in the growth of the body, including height and muscles. Especially during sleep, growth hormone begins to secrete. So try not to stay up late.
If you want to grow taller, you must cultivate a good internal environment, promote the secretion of auxin and accelerate the division of bone cells. Timely supplement of growth elements, comprehensive bone nutrition and breakthrough of genetic problems.
High-intensity fitness training can promote the secretion of growth hormone. Doing more exercise, including squatting, can promote the development of bones and contribute to the growth of height. So don't worry about fitness affecting your height.
