Does exercise stop you from growing?
Exercise does not stop you growing. Running,cycling, swimming etc are all healthy examples of exercise and don't stunt your growth. Lifting excessively heavy weights at a young age (12-14ish) however, can stunt your growth and effect the development of your arm muscles and bones. If you plan on lifting weights at an early age you should ask your trainer/coach for advice and stick with smaller weights. To be honest, I would just recommend push-ups, pull-ups etc.
If I stunted my growth in anyway can I gain it back later on and why?
The only way to "stunt your growth" would be if you weren't getting enough food when you were very young. If you had good nutrition up until about age 12, you'll reach your full height. If your growth was stunted by being mal-fed in early childhood, there's no way for you as an adult to catch up.
