I heard months back that high intensity interval sprinting / running was a way to get your body to release HGH, but I haven't looked into that :/
All forms of high intensity training result in an increased release of anabolic hormones, as training itself constitutes catabolic stress. In order to maintain the body's homeostasis, anabolism must always
follow after catabolism.
Anabolism itself requires an intake of energy: food. Minerals and vitamins are also required for the maintenance of bone mass, since the bones are subject to constant changes in mass ( both loss and growth ).
Many people fail to realize that bones constitute living tissue.

But outside of biokinesis, or a natural growth spurt / production of HGH I don't know of another way to grow taller
There are two time frames of growth: the early ossification, and the late synostosis.
hGH is only useful during either time of growth. With the completion of the synostosis ( meaning the closure of the epiphyseal plates ), the interstitial growth ( length) stops as a result of the loss of the secondary osseous nuclei contained inside the epiphyses ( and apophyses ).
This usually happens upon exceeding a certain age threshold. Estradiol also facilitates the closure of the epiphyseal plates, which is why women are usually shorter than men.
If the growth plates are already closed, hGH cannot help with the interstitial growth anymore. Only with appositional growth ( girth ), which is definitely not what you had in mind.
Here is a list of some bones with their individual synostotic time span ( +/- 1, add a certain margin of error and the factor of genetics ):
- Scapula: 19-25 y.
- Clavicle: 20-25 y.
- Humerus ( prox. ): 20-22 y.
- Humerus ( dist. ): 15-17 y.
- Radius and ulna: 20-22 y.
- Pelvis: 19-21 y.
- Femur ( prox. ): 17-19 y.
- Femur ( dist. ): 19-20 y.
- Tibia ( prox. ): 19-21 y.
- Tibia ( dist. ): 17-19 y.
- Fibula ( prox. ): 19-20 y.
- Fibula ( dist. ): 17-18 y.
Prox. means close to the body, dist. means away from the body.
After this threshold, it is no longer possible to grow in length by natural means.
As for you Sero, you still have some really good chances after all. Try to make the most of it.
