Does jump rope make u taller?

Question

im 13 im 5ft how can i increase my hight

Answer 1

Jumping rope DOES NOT make you shorter...it's great exercise...but it does not make you taller, either....

Answer 2

i wish I knew what made you taller! I'd be doing it now. Try drinking milk and stretching

Answer 3

I'm sorry jump roping does not make you taller, I have also never heard of it compressing the discs in your back either so don't worry about that. The reason I say that is because unless you are jumping off the empire state building while you are jump roping you aren't putting enough pressure on your back for the discs to compress. Actually a study has been done that found children that jump rope (or excersice in general) develop a higher bone density.

Your height does have a lot to do with your genes, but eating healthy, having good posture, and enough sleep all play roles in being able to achieve the max out of your genes. (check out the below link)

Answer 4

Sorry but no. It's in the genes! But hey always make sure to eat right, and do exercise, and you will be taller than suspected.

Answer 5

nope, but it's a great cardio work out!

Answer 6

Actually, jumping makes you shorter. You compress the discs in your back. Your height is in your genes. There really is no way to make yourself taller. (Except high heel shoes!)

Answer 7

I'm afraid not, but it's good exercise.

You will still grow.  Milk and dairy products are good for growing bones.

Stay active and eat healthy.

Answer 8

h**l YEAH ITS GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
