change in height
The figure below shows the changes in height by age surveyed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in XNUMX.If it falls between the two curves in the figure, it can be said to be a standard growth situation.
Also, below the figure is a formula that can predict to some extent how many centimeters the child's height will eventually grow.
However, the degree of development of children varies greatly among individuals, and it is known that there is an error of XNUMX to XNUMX centimeters in this calculation formula.If you're not in between the curves and your current short stature, don't despair.
Height indicates general developmental status. Knowing how many centimeters you have grown in a year can also be a guideline for what kind of exercise you should do.
The period of remarkable growth in annual height (the peak period of annual growth) occurs between the 5th grade of elementary school and the 2nd grade of junior high school for girls, and the 6th grade of elementary school to the 3rd grade of junior high school for boys.Before this stage (that is, from early childhood and from the lower grades of elementary school to the middle grades), you will experience various exercises and learn how to move and move while having fun. It is a good idea to exercise to improve your height, and once your growth in height has stabilized, you should do strength training to build a solid body.
Of course, there are individual differences in height growth.During the growth period, it is important to exercise according to the growth of each individual.
