A member asked:
Please explain what exercises will stunt your growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None...: There are no exercises that will stunt your growth. Quite the opposite, exercise tends to stimulate growth via improved circulation and increased release of growth hormone with exercise. If you are asking about activities that can affect growth, then smoking, illicit drug use, inappropriate steroid use and poor nutrition are all culprits.
