Height decreases slightly after exercise?
Hey guys!
I've been measured recently (immediately after a workout that consisted of running 1.5 miles, jumproping, and weightlifting) and noticed that my height was around 182cm. However, on a day which I had virtually no exercise (3 weeks earlier), I was 183cm in the afternoon (not morning). Was I mis-measured during the earlier measurement, or is height decrease after exercise a common phenomenon? Thanks! *EDIT* Nevermind, I remeasured without exercise and got 183cm. Age: 19 (Born late spring 1990) Goal Height: 185 cm (6'1") Dream Height: 188 cm (6'2") Summer 2008 Height: 180 cm (5'11") June 2009 Height: 183 cm (6'0") (mid-day measurement) Need thoughts on exercises and dietary routines I can follow. I feel as if my process is slowing down a lot. |

Nvm I just measured myself. There is a 1cm difference between pre and post-exercise.
183cm pre, 182cm post.

RE: Height decreases slightly after exercise?
it compresses because of gravity.

Either gravity or muscles becoming tighter.

Yeah its true, height decrease during/after exercise is inevitable, but you usually get your height back within a few minutes/ hours.
Age 16 - ( 17 in november) Starting height 5"7 (at night)(20th April 2009) Current Height - 5"8 ( at night) TARGETS 5"9 - December 2009 5"10 - May/ June 2010 Dream height 6"0 * Help my rep and ban that racist guy* |

1 cm is small amount. Could depend on many things. At what time did you measure yourself at both times - morning or evening?

Could be the time difference, but it is very normal to lose about a centimete in height after working out, especially when squatting. It's just compressing the spine. No worries, though. Your height will return to normal after an hour or two.
