The impact of exercise on children's height

Many people want to have a standard height. Being too short will cause some trouble in finding a girlfriend, so you should do more exercise during the golden period of growing height and adjust your diet. Because these are all very important factors for height, what does height rely on? It relies on our own pituitary gland secretion, as well as exercise, diet and sleep, which are inseparable from our height. Some people's long-term lack of sleep can also lead to short height.

First, children and adolescents who have not completed their development have epiphyses at both ends of the long bone shaft, and there is epiphyseal cartilage between the shaft and the epiphysis, which is called the growth plate. During the growth and development period, the epiphyseal cartilage will continue to grow, precipitate calcium salts and ossify, causing the length of the bone to continue to increase. When the epiphyseal cartilage is completely ossified and fused with the bone shaft, the length of the bone will no longer increase, which also means that the growth of height will slow down or even stop.

Second, during exercise, children and adolescents will experience accelerated blood circulation, which improves the blood supply to the developing bone tissue and accelerates the bone remodeling process. At the same time, muscle contraction during exercise pulls the bones, causing the bones to bear a certain amount of pressure and tension, which actively stimulates the growth of bones and epiphyseal cartilage plates (growth plates), promotes the proliferation of growth plates, and accelerates bone growth. This promotes the growth of height.

I hope the above can give you a reference. During childhood and adolescence, you should pay attention to rest and never stay up late. At this time, you should also make sure your children exercise more. After all, exercise and diet can better promote height. Children nowadays are under a lot of pressure and spend the whole day studying and attending cram schools. If homework is not completed by midnight, the most important thing is happiness and sleep, and let children love sports.
