Can exercise make you taller

Answer 1

• It does I think because I've been swimming for 8 years and I taller than my whole family almost that's what other people say.

• Swimming won't make you actually grow, but it can help stretch your spine, much like an inversion table. Uncompressing your spine may make you 1-2 inches taller.

• No. Swimming is great excercise, and often, swimmers build and maintain "long, lean" muscles. It will not make you taller.

• No, see the related question, listed under Related Questions, for more information.

Answer 2

That;s an interesting question. I am happy you asked this. I am a major science wiz. I am 15 years old. I recently had a theory that weight lifting could improve growth if done properly and safely. I started weight lifting when I was 14 years old. One thing to make sure of is to lift weights your body can handle and weights that are not too light or way too heavy for you. I was lifting some heavy weights. Though I still grew an inch TALLER! I was 5'8 and grew to another inch over the summer. I am now 5'9. My shoulders got wider and stronger. My chest also got bigger and harder as a result of weight lifting. But doing weight lifting wrong can damage your growth plate and stunt your growth in the process. It won't stop but it will slow down as a result of damage. So if your doing it or want too do it. Then I suggest lifting weights good for you. Make sure you have an adult who has weight lifted before has more than enough experience with weights. Weight lifting is very good because our muscles need that kind of stress factor in order to improve in performance wise.

These yoga poses and postures should be maintained for better results.

Swimming could potentially increase your height slightly by improving your muscle tone and therefore your posture which will make you walk taller. The main factors that effect your height will be: * Genetics - if your family is tall then you stand a better chance of being tall * Diet - having a healthy diet while you are growing will allow you to reach your full potential height * Diseases or disabilities - some diseases or disabilities will cause you generally to be shorter than your optimum height
