A member asked:
I just saw a doctor in endocrinology say this here "growth height: apart from genetics ultimate height achieved is affected by good nutrition and exercise involving stretching". exercise involving stretching affects height growth? i thought it won't?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I know of no trials or physiologic reason that stretching would affect height. Maybe they use the rack down where you are?;-) You can go to PUBMed.gov and search for height AND human AND stretching and see if there are any articles that bear on this.
