As the saying goes, "seven points depend on genetics, three points depend on nurture", if you want your child to grow taller, parents must grasp the acquired factor. And exercise is one of the acquired factors.
There are so many benefits of exercise, not only can promote the absorption and digestion of food, increase nutrient intake, meet the huge demand for nutrients for physical development, and then promote the height development of children, but also help the precipitation of bone calcium, promote bone development, promote digestion and bowel movements, and reduce common constipation problems......
However, although exercise is good, there are some sports that children should not be exposed to too early.
CCTV News has mentioned that there are two sports that are not only not conducive to children's growth, but may also affect children's growth and development, and even harm their bones.
weightlifting
Weightlifting is a strength sport that has a great impact on the development of muscles and bones.
At this stage, the child's bones and muscles are not yet fully developed, and excessive strength training may cause damage to the growth plates, affecting the normal growth of bones, and may even lead to limited height growth. In addition, the impact of heavy loads on the joints during heavy lifting may increase your child's risk of developing chronic diseases such as arthritis in the future.
Therefore, it is recommended that children try not to practice weightlifting before the age of 16, and they really like to wait for their bodies to mature before touching them.
marathon
Marathon running can exercise children's patience and cultivate children's perseverance. But it's not good for your child's health.
The function of each part of the child's body is still immature, from the development characteristics of the bones and muscles of 3~6-year-old children, the bones are elastic, the hardness is small, and they are easy to be deformed, and the fibers of the muscles are fine, and they are easy to fatigue and be damaged.
In terms of respiration and circulation, children's lung capacity is relatively small, so the respiratory rate must be faster than that of adults to meet the needs of the body. A child's heart is only one-third the size of an adult, with thin walls and a low pulse output. Obviously, children's bodies are poorly adapted to more intense exercise.
Also, running a marathon may stimulate early ossification of bones. The bones can grow to both sides and stop prematurely, especially affecting the child's height. Moreover, long-distance running on hard roads has a very strong impact on the joints, which can easily cause bone inflammation and affect the growth of children.
Therefore, parents must avoid their children's early exposure to weightlifting and marathons, and if they want their children to grow taller and healthier, it is recommended that parents help their children choose age-appropriate sports, moderate exercise, and correct exercise.
Try these exercises to help your child grow taller:
(1) Bounce sports: rope skipping, high jump, long jump, running, etc.;
(2) Extension exercises: horizontal bar pull-ups, sit-ups, gymnastics, etc.;
(3) Whole-body sports: basketball, volleyball, badminton, football and swimming, etc.
Height growth is related to many factors, such as genetics, endocrine, nutrition, sleep, exercise, etc. Abnormalities in any of the above aspects will affect the child's height, so children in the growth and development period need comprehensive intervention to ensure the normal growth and development of the child.
Physical activities that can help children grow taller are generally some relatively gentle, can achieve a certain amount of muscle activity, help bone stretching but not very strenuous activities, must be accompanied by guardians to move, pay attention to a certain time and intensity, growth activities are persistent, not occasional.
Children must pay attention to hydration after activities, pay attention to care after sweating, and avoid cold.
In addition to paying attention to the necessary exercise, the child's height is more important to pay attention to reasonable nutrition, supplement necessary nutrients, if the height is significantly behind, you need to see a doctor in time, clarify the cause, and further intervention.
