Question 1

how to increase height by 2_3inches...i regularly do cycling..what other exercise should i do...age 19?

Accepted Answer

Get bone age study: If your bone age xray shows that your bones are fused, then you're not going to get taller, at least not w/o ilizarov procedure (http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pmc/articles/pmc2266651/). If bones are not fused, then consult pediatric endocrinologist to look for growth hormone deficiency if your height is less than 2%tile (really short, not just a little short). Exercise will not affect height.

Question 2

my age 19 yrs. i wanted to know if there are any exercises to increase height. i do take a good diet. i m 5'11 from past two years.

Accepted Answer

You are likely done: If you entered puberty the same time as your friends and your bone maturity is that of a 19 yo there is little you can do to increase your height.A single x-ray of your left hand can be assessed for bone maturity.If 19, you are done growing, if bony maturity is more like 15 you might grow an additional couple of inches.There are no magic solutions if your growth centers r closed.

Question 3

is it possible to increase height after the age of 22 ? my height is 5'7.how can i increase my  height ? what type of exercises should i do externally

Accepted Answer

Maximum Height: You have likely reached your maximum height (unless you entered puberty very late). I would learn to love yourself and your present height. Take care.

Question 4

sir i want to know that is it possible to increase height at 18 or 19.plz provide me some useful exercise other than some medicine or other remedies

Accepted Answer

Depends on  bone age: The potential growth depends on areas in the long bones (arms, legs, fingers)called growth plates. This is where growth occurs and an active open growth plate means more growth is possible. An xray of the hands &amp; wrists can be evaluated for bone maturity.No exercise or special diet will add to your height.  If your bone maturity is average for a 18yo you are finished growing taller.

Question 5

i am 21 year old female.my height is 5'2 ft.how can i increase height by exercise?

Accepted Answer

Can not: Unfortunately, you cannot increase your height by exercising.

Question 6

could streaching exersises increase height permanently?

Accepted Answer

No: Height is dependent on bone growth and structure which is determined during adolescent growth.

Question 7

iam 25 years old and my height is 161cm. are there any exercises to increase height now?

Accepted Answer

No: You are as tall as you will get. Learn to accept yourself for who you are and others will do the same.

Question 8

im 18 years old. is it possible for me to grow taller ? are there any medical exercises to increase height?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Growth in anyone is dependent on open growth centers within the bones. These close in most females between 15-17 &amp; 16-18 in males. An x-ray of your wrist/hand can be examined for open growth centers. If open, you may grow more, closed=no. There are no exercises, stretches, diets, etc. that increase height beyond your genetic level.

Question 9

is it possible to increase height for a 17 year old male because there are documents that suggest it's possible. is there exercises that might help?

Accepted Answer

No: If your growth plates are no longer open, growth is over. Typically by the time a boy is 17, the growth plates are near complete fusion.  There are no height enhancing exercises.  If a 17 year old boy has delayed puberty there may be some growth potential left as the biological age would be younger than 17.

Question 10

i read in studies that exercise stimulates growth hormone. would the extra growth hormone induced by exercise increase height in a growing body?

Accepted Answer

No: This has been answered recently. Growth hormone release spikes in sleep and has nothing to do with exercise.  Exercise is good for the body and does help create a good core of healthy parts, but it does not change the eventual  height of anyone.
