If exercise increases the secretion of human growth hormone, then why does exercise not increase height?

Question by Annoying Girl: If exercise increases the secretion of human growth hormone, then why does exercise not increase height?
Vigorous exercise increases the amount of HGH (human growth hormone) in the body... right? And HGH is what causes the body to grow taller... right? (Please correct me if I'm wrong). If so, then why do all the scientists say that exercise does not make one taller, and that genetics and proper nutrition are the only two factors that contribute to one's height? Are they lying?

Growth hormone doesn't necessarily increasing height. Exercise encourages your muscles to develop and make you stronger. A young person has a complete new body about every 9 years. This is why athletes must train on a regular, in order to train the new muscle cells.

  1. Exercise alone doesn not make you taller, it's a bit more complicated than that.

    Eat tryptophan rich foods...
    Tryptophan is a routine constituent of most protein-based foods or dietary proteins. It is particularly plentiful in chocolate, oats, dried dates, milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, red meat, eggs, fish, poultry, sesame, chickpeas, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, spirulina, and peanuts.

    Tryptophan is an amino acid that is converted to serotonin, which increases HGH (Human Growth Hormone) during sleep.

    And that's about it. You will grow as tall and as quickly as your genes dictate. Fixed for ever at the moment of conception. All that can disrupt this is severe illness or severe malnutrition in childhood.
