You might find out how much you've grown during your annual checkup at the doctor's office or when your pants get too short. I'm 12 years old and haven't had a growth spurt yet. But if you enjoy swimming, biking, running, or yoga, among other sports, and you haven't stopped growing, exercise combined with the right diet and proper sleep should help you grow. There are tons of "grow taller" exercises on the Internet, which claim to help you grow. There are people like Shaquille O'Neal, David Robinson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and many more who started bodybuilding at an early age and yet still were able to attain an above average height.
Exercise your body. Does body building stunt human growth? There is no scientific evidence available to prove that weight training may stunt human growth. Stretching may improve your posture, which can exaggerate how tall you are — or de-emphasize how small you are — but it cannot add inches to your frame. What should I do? Plenty of people have a growth spurt after age 12, and still end up as tall or taller than the "early bloomers". Since then, you've probably seen your height increase a few inches a year. If you're still concerned, you can visit an endocrinologist who will examine you and give you advice.
Your biggest growth spurt happened when you were a baby. Uh, oh — we can see your ankles!
Therefore, there's no scientific evidence to suggest you can grow taller through stretching. Sadly, if your growth plates have closed as due to your age, exercising will not affect your growth rate. As mentioned above, after your growth plates have closed, you will not grow taller. In that first year of life, you grew about 10 inches as you got bigger and stronger.
