Q How should children with precocious puberty exercise?
A Steady aerobic exercise and stretching — rather than high-impact sports — help protect the growth plates and disperse excess heat.
Detailed Answer
Intense impact sports can place excessive stress on the growth plates. Low-impact aerobic activities such as jump rope, swimming, and cycling performed for at least 30 minutes daily help prevent obesity and suppress excessive activation of sex hormones.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we recommend exercise routines as a complement to herbal prescriptions. Adequate outdoor activity and sunlight exposure promotes vitamin D synthesis, which is also beneficial for bone health.
