CAN JUMP ROPE STUNT GROWTH?

Stunting is the impaired growth and development that children experience from poor nutrition, repeated infection and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. Like with bodybuilding, it is a common myth that jump rope can stunt growth. Jump rope will not make you shorter. Diet and other factors may contribute in some capacity; however, after early childhood, your height is mostly determined by your genetics.
