Can exercise grow taller

Exercise is very helpful to grow taller, but only if the epiphysis is not closed, if the development has been completed, the epiphysis has closed, exercise is no way to grow taller. Sports that are beneficial to growth are mainly jumping sports. Sports promote growth through changes in bone stress, and only vertical stress has a significant effect on the proliferation of chondrocytes in long bones. Therefore, volleyball, basketball, soccer, ballet, aerobics, stretching gymnastics, jumping rope and jogging are all ideal for growing taller. However, weight lifting, barbell, taekwondo, skiing, street dance and tug of war produce less vertical stress, so they are not as helpful for height growth as the jumping exercises mentioned above. Stretching is also a good way to increase height, such as wall stretching, let stand with your back towards the wall, raise your arms and stretch your body as much as possible, then sit on the floor in the same position to stretch your leg muscles, you can also bend your waist to stretch your body forward and touch your toes with your hands.
