Dr. Ding Hongfang
Hanging from a horizontal bar is an exercise that can help increase height. This activity fully stretches the body, and if performed during the growth and development stage, it may contribute to increased height. In addition to hanging from a horizontal bar, other suitable activities include basketball, volleyball, badminton, high jump, and long jump. However, once adulthood is reached and the epiphyseal growth plates have closed, no method—regardless of type—can further increase height.
