During your adolescence people tell you to jump frequently if your want to grow taller.

1) Do you think this is true?
2) Did this work for you?
3) Give a logical explanation for or against this.
Your own experiences don’t count. It is covered in Question 2)

Thanks Robert but I am not trying to grow taller.

It is common for basketballers to mention this myth/fact. Base on Keith idea of stretching, that is what basketballers to when jump trying to reach as high as they could. They practise jumping a lot too, hoping the could dunk the ball.

lim00b, interesting question "If it can be passed on to offspring"
