That doesnt really effect that you have a predetermined growth set up in your petuitary gland and such. But i have heard that running helps with stronger and larger bone growth but i really have no idea about that and lifting doenst do anything but increase strength and muscle size you may just be short dude.

Your height was determined the minute you were conceived.
Unless you do something like smoking cigarettes (which will STUNT your growth) you can't do anything to grow taller.
You can GROW TO YOUR POTENTIAL (aka, predetermined height) by being active and healthy - especially during your "growth years".... but you can't force yourself to be taller than designed.
