TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Parents always want their children to grow tall and healthy, so the growth of height often becomes a primary concern. In addition to being influenced by genetic factors, children's height growth can also be maximized through a healthy diet, sufficient rest, and suitable sports.
Here are several types of sports that can support children's height growth:
1. Swimming
Quoted from Times of India, swimming can increase body flexibility and stimulate body cells. This sport is known to be very effective in supporting children's height growth. Swimming helps stimulate all muscle groups in the body, naturally increasing height, stretching the spine, and improving body posture.
2. Hanging Exercises
Hanging exercises are an effective way to support children's height growth. This activity helps increase the strength of arm muscles and stimulate upper body muscles. In addition, this exercise also helps tighten and shape the body, which indirectly contributes to increasing height.
3. Cobra Pose
This pose is beneficial for encouraging children's height growth. To do this, start with a prone position, then slowly lift the upper body. Perform a curving movement as far as the body allows, to increase stimulation to body cells and support growth.
4. Jump Rope
Jumping rope is a fun and popular activity for children. This activity helps stimulate children's height growth. Jumping movements trigger body cell activity from head to toe, making these cells more active. This exercise is also very effective in supporting the formation of a more slender body and increasing height.
5. Playing Basketball or Volleyball
Sports like basketball or volleyball involve many jumping movements that can help stretch the spine. This activity is not only beneficial for maintaining fitness but also supports children's height growth.
6. Stretching Exercises
As reported by The Asian Parents, regular stretching exercises can help maximize children's height growth. Stretching helps elongate the body's muscles and spine, thus supporting optimal growth.
