Patient's question:
Height: 178cmWeight: 65kg
Last year I felt like I was still growing, but this year I haven't grown. Is it because of muscle training that I'm not getting taller? I really want to grow to 180cm.
Every night:
Push-ups with palms: 60
Sit-ups: 60
Leg raises in prone position: 60
Pull-ups...
Doctor's answer:
How does high-intensity exercise affect height? I think you're overthinking it. From a physiological perspective, males between the ages of 18 and 20 are still in their growth phase. In theory, you might focus solely on growing taller. However, many factors influence height, such as nutrition, lifestyle, and generational inheritance, among others.When it comes to exercise, during the growth phase, high-intensity physical labor can interfere with physical development. But the type of exercise you mentioned should be within safe limits—correct exercise. As long as your body can handle it, there's no problem.
Finally, regarding height, I'd say don't force it—just let nature take its course. Height will never be a stumbling block on your path to success. Wishing you all the best!
