This is a relatively good video on using a isometric stretching static passive method of the stretching splits exercise. The instructor mistakingly identifies it as a static active stretch. Note how he is contracting the antagonistic muscles of the inner thigh (isometric stretching) and holding his position (static stratching), using his bodyweight to assist with the flexibility stretches (passive stretching).  This one martial arts stretching exercise takes advantage of multiple methods for its effectiveness. While the subject of this video is obviously an advanced student, these techniques can be used by less seasoned martial artists to help increase their range of motion. Just be sure to listen to your body when performing this martial arts stretching splits exercise, don’t stretch too much at any one time and stop before you feel pain.

From an article I just read:
“Another method that you can use to grow taller is exercises such as uphill sprints or squats that will work some of the bigger muscle groups. Working these muscle groups in short duration at a high intensity will no doubt facilitate the growth process.”

I have been doing squats and sprints, so maybe that’s part of the answer.

From another article:
“include plenty of protein and carbohydrate supplements in your diet before and after exercises. This will ensure that you have the right body with the best looks. Including large quantities of milk and seafood in your diet can help you a lot because; it gives your body the best way to balance the exercises.”

I’ve been doing these, too.
