Does cycling and all physical activities lead to increase in height? My parents encouraged me to cycle saying it will increase your height.

any sort of physical activity is good for overall health and development. i am not sure if it really triggers height, but most indian parents do say it does. since your parents encouraged you to do so, did you really gain that much height? i guess you could take yourself as an example and answer this for everyone instead :)

i am not sure whether it increases height, but it will surely help one stay fit and fight off a lot of different health conditions.

I doubt it specifically increase height. They do help with being active and healthy
