A child's height is determined by several parts of the skeleton, including the height of the skull, the length of the spine, the curvature of the spine, the length of the lower limbs, and the height of the arch of the foot. In order to help children grow taller through exercise, we need to pay attention to the length of the spine, the curvature and the length of the lower limbs. Therefore, parents should consider exercises that are beneficial to these parts when choosing an exercise style that is suitable for their children.
Exercises that are good for the length of the spine include gymnastics, stretching, etc., which can help the child lengthen the length of the spine and maintain a good curvature. In addition, proper physical training can be done to help adjust the curvature of the spine. Some children may have scoliosis, which can also have an impact on height, so parents should pay special attention to this.
In addition, the length of the lower limbs also plays an important role in the height growth of the child. Therefore, it is very important to choose exercises that are beneficial for the growth of the lower limbs to promote the growth of height. These sports include rope skipping, basketball, cycling, shuttlecock kicking, and more. These exercises can exercise the muscles of the lower limbs and accelerate the growth of the bones of the lower limbs, which can help the child grow taller.
Some parents may think that a single stretching exercise, such as just doing upper body exercises such as pull-ups, can help their child grow taller. But in fact, such exercise does not contribute very much to the child's height growth. Taller children tend to have long slender legs, so the growth of the lower limbs is very important for the growth of height. Therefore, when parents and friends choose their children's exercise methods, they must take into account the length and curvature of the spine and the growth of the lower limbs.
Parents and friends also need to be careful not to over-pursue high-intensity exercise when cultivating children's exercise habits. If you do too high-intensity sports, such as marathons, weightlifting, etc., it is not only bad for your child's health, but also will cause damage to your bones and affect your child's height growth.
In fact, studies have shown that the amount of growth hormone secreted is related to the amount of exercise. Moderate exercise can promote the secretion of growth hormone, but if you exercise too much, it will affect the secretion of growth hormone. Therefore, for children, it is important to consider not only the form of exercise, but also the intensity of it. A reasonable amount of exercise can better promote children's height growth.
For children of different ages, it is also very important to have a reasonable exercise plan. For children under the age of 4, their bone growth ability is very strong, and they do not need to deliberately exercise to help them grow. They just need to stay outdoors for 1-2 hours while playing, and bouncing play can boost their physical development and growth.
And for children between the ages of 4 and 6, the intensity of exercise can be moderately increased. They can do some moderate-intensity exercises, such as jogging, swimming, cycling, etc., for about 30 minutes at a time, 4-5 times a week.
For children over 6 years old, the amount of exercise can be increased appropriately. Exercise for about 30-40 minutes a day, mainly bouncing and stretching. These exercises can better promote the secretion of growth hormone, which can help children grow taller.
For those children who need to pay attention to their height, doctors will formulate personalized exercise prescriptions according to the child's age, gender, individual situation, etc., to help them better promote height growth. These prescriptions include specific exercises, exercise intensity, and frequency of exercise.
However, exercise is not the only factor that affects a child's height growth, the family environment, nutritional intake, and genetics also play an important role. Therefore, in addition to exercise, parents should also pay attention to their children's balanced diet and provide adequate nutritional support. In addition, it is necessary to maintain a good indoor and outdoor environment to avoid adverse effects on the child's physical development. On the whole, multi-faceted cooperation can better help children grow taller.
By understanding the determinants of children's height, parents can choose the right exercise method for their children more scientifically and develop appropriate exercise plans according to different age groups. A reasonable amount of exercise and exercise form can promote the secretion of growth hormone, thereby helping children grow taller. However, exercise is not the only factor that affects a child's height, and parents should also pay attention to cultivating good eating habits and providing adequate nutritional support. On the whole, through multi-faceted cooperation, parents can better help their children grow taller.
In my personal experience, I have seen parents who are very concerned about their children's height and even over-develop their athletic abilities. However, excessive exercise is not conducive to a child's physical health and height growth. Therefore, as parents, we should look at the growth process of our children rationally, give them moderate exercise, pay attention to a balanced diet and good living habits. At the same time, we must also respect the individual differences of children, each child has their own growth rules, and we should not be too anxious. Through love and care, we can help children build confidence and a positive mindset so that they can thrive in a great environment.
