Not really: Proper nutrition, adequate sleep and general exercise support growth to your potential.Running, stretches,yoga or any other activity has no specific to add growth.Growth centers in your bones determine final height.A single x-ray of your wrist/hand can be examined for open growth centers.If they are open you can grow taller.If they have closed you are done.
