stimulating height growth

2004/06/09, 08:03 AM
Your instincts were right; certain sports won't stimulate growth. I remember reading through that thread in the past, and somehow that comment flew under the radar. Basketball and volleyball players are tall because they are sports that favor taller people with the 10' rim and 9' net. Shorter people, therefore, tend to get pushed out as you move up in the ranks of these sports. If Shaquille O'Neal were 6' tall, he'd be working at Burger King right now.

<--- 5,6 fully grown man. Be glad your 5,9" :) I dont think height is an issue(or a big issue) at all once you reach 5,9", even 5'8"..
