A member asked:

21 male athlete.measure 179.5cm in mornings and 177cm in evenings after running. why does this happen why do i get short in the evening after running?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consistent measures?: Are you using the same posture/shoes/conditions to measure your height before and after running? A 2.5 cm (1 inch) difference is unusual. It is unlikely that you are actually losing an inch of height after running. http://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/childrens_bmi/measuring_children.html#Height
