Will you grow taller by doing fitness

Fitness has become a trend. Both the elderly and children have joined the fitness plan. However, many students who are in the long term always wonder whether fitness will affect their height. In fact, many people do weight training when they go to the gym. You should pay attention to this weight training to ensure that it does not affect your physical development. You can consult your fitness coach for details.

1. Epiphyseal plate (growth plate)

These things called epiphyseal plates are at the ends of the bones where they connect, and they get harder as you age. Yes, lifting weights can cause damage to these soft guys, but any other physical activity (except swimming) can cause damage to them, even more seriously than lifting weights.

For example, in football or basketball, any collision or change of direction may cause damage to your bones. Only if you can lift weights with the correct posture can the chance of bone injury be minimized.

2. Nutrition

To be honest, whether your nutritional intake is adequate is the key factor in determining whether you can continue to grow taller. Due to various reasons, many students are unable to ensure a comprehensive intake of major nutrients. Coupled with high-intensity training, it is not surprising that they do not gain weight or grow taller. After all, if you don’t even have bricks, how can you make the house thick and high?

In addition, if your body is in a growth period, your metabolism is naturally extremely active. Plus, if you're doing extra training, it's very likely that the reason you're not gaining weight or growing taller is that you're not consuming enough calories. So next time you go to the cafeteria to get a meal, order a few more dishes and an extra bowl of rice.
