NO NO NO that's when we GROW
More likely to stunt development.
Properly done, no sport should result in a stunting of growth. Good exercise and flexibility are more likely to promote growth than to stunt it.
The best thing you can do to maximize height growth during a growth spurt is to eat plenty of nutritious food and to get lots of sleep. The body needs the nutrients from the food to grow, and the hormones that cause growth are released when the body is sleeping.
No, it's not true that sleeping more causes you to grow shorter. While sleep is essential for overall health and growth, especially in children and adolescents, it does not directly affect height. In fact, adequate sleep is important for growth hormone production, which is crucial for growth and development. However, factors like genetics and nutrition have a more significant impact on height than sleep duration alone.
Too much of anything is bad for you, and that includes exercise. If you're lifting more than just a few hours a week, you're probably overdoing it and yes, it can stunt your growth because your body will put all of its energy into growing muscles instead of height.
They really aren't. I don't know who you're looking at, but they come in all shapes and especially sizes. My guess is that a few more short guys lift to compensate for their lack of height.
Height is the vertical measurement of a thing. Growth is a change in which something becomes more than it was.
Nutrition wise, eating unhealthy foods constantly and not following the food pyramid at all. Another way to stunt your growth on a more serious matter is doing bad things to your body at a young age (a drug of some-sort.)
You should not ever attempt to stunt a child's growth. At 10 years, girls are typically 50 to 60 inches tall. Rapid growth will be expected for about 3 more years but most girls grow very little after reaching 13 or 14.
It doesn't. It's a commonly held myth. Normal, properly performed resistance exercise will not stunt growth in young people. Younger individuals should be carefully supervised when weight lifting, especially when attempting more complicated lifts with heavier weights. It's possible an injury resulting from improper use of weights could stunt growth, but it shouldn't be an issue if proper supervision and training is given.
no usually when you have a growth spurt you become more fit developing height and becoming more masculine
I've never heard of mental stress causing growth problems. I'd think that would just be "luck of the draw." As for anything to correct the problem now... once the growth plate is closed on the long bones you aren't going to get any more height. Sorry.
