Which is better for growing taller, playing ball or skipping rope?

There are many factors that determine a person's height, which are related to genetic factors as well as some acquired factors such as diet and exercise. Therefore, if parents are short, their children will not necessarily be short. If children exercise actively on a regular basis, they can also grow taller. For example, you can play ball and jump rope in your daily life. So, which one is more helpful for growing taller? Regarding this issue, let’s take a look at the following introduction.

Skipping rope has a certain stimulating effect on bone growth. It improves bone circulation, stimulates the secretion of growth hormone and promotes height. It is a scientific research result of the former Soviet Union that skipping rope can promote the growth and development of adolescents. However, for adults whose epiphysis has closed, there is little hope of growing taller by skipping rope. The epiphysis of many boys is not closed at the age of 20. If you want to know whether the epiphysis is closed, you can go to a regular hospital to do a bone age X-ray. A word of advice to friends who want to grow taller or lose weight: please use scientific methods to make up for your shortcomings. Finally, let's talk about the time and frequency of skipping rope. Theoretically, you should not do strenuous exercise one hour before and after meals. Some people want to lose weight and skip rope before meals in order to reduce their appetite, which is unscientific. The best time for human activity is from 3 pm to 8 pm. Friends who want to improve their rope skipping skills may wish to do it during this period.

When playing basketball, running and jumping can easily promote bone development. Playing basketball during the developmental period is an excellent opportunity to grow taller. The reason why people can grow taller is because of the growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Playing basketball for five minutes continuously can consume one-fifth of the body's energy, that is, physical strength. After continuous exercise, as physical strength continues to decline, the amount of nutrients and oxygen required by the human body will continue to increase. Through food, breathing and accelerated blood flow, the pituitary gland can continue to secrete more growth hormone to meet the needs of the human body. In this way, a person's height is also affected.

Which one is better for growing taller: playing ball or skipping rope? Whether playing ball or jumping rope, it will help your body grow taller. I hope everyone has a correct understanding of this. Some people don’t know how to play basketball, so they can also choose to skip rope. In fact, some other sports are also helpful for physical development, such as running, playing football, etc. It is not necessary to adopt a single sport.
