Would leg stretching make you/your legs shorter?

Posted at: 2014-09-13 
Stretches such as Hamstring, Quadricep, calf and split- would they cause my leg to become shorter(i've heard that from someone), or do the opposite(make it longer)?

Stretching does not affect the length of your bones, which actually gives your legs structure, and therefor length.

I don't know why you'd think stretching would have an effect on the length of your legs. People aren't rubber dolls.

No, it does not effect how long your legs are.
