[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] Just finished the 4-yearly World Cup, do you also want to exercise your muscles and bones?

Chen Yicheng, a pediatric endocrinologist at Hexin Minquan Maternal and Child Clinic, said that although there is no research to prove which exercise can lead to a higher growth rate, a study by the University of Virginia in the United States found that after 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, the secretion of growth hormone will increase. 3-4 times.

Chen Yicheng posted on the Facebook page "Children's Endocrinology Physician Chen Yicheng's Lego Garden" to share that a relatively small local study in Taiwan found that after 30 minutes of rope skipping every day, after 20 consecutive weeks of jumping, compared with the control group, how much longer can be 1.5 cm high.

However, the tracking time of this study was relatively short, and the final adult height of the children was not tracked, so there is still no way to confirm that children who skip rope will be taller when they grow up.

Chen Yicheng pointed out that the exercise advice usually given to children in outpatient clinics is:

●Exercise frequency:

Exercise 5-7 days a week.

●Exercise time:

each exercise at least 30 minutes.

●Exercise intensity:

sweating after exercising, shortness of breath when talking.

Chen Yicheng said that as for the type of exercise, it is not so emphasized. As long as it is based on aerobic exercise (running, cycling, swimming) and combined with appropriate resistance and bone strengthening exercises, it will actually help the child's growth to a certain extent. And the key point is to be gradual and persistent, to encourage children to develop regular and moderate exercise habits.
