Athletic abilities after LL

You need to be in excellent shape before hand and you must go back to that healthy lifestyle. I have met a professional cricket player who has had lengthening and a boxer since I've been in India both of whom are much happier.

Sorry, but you're definitely fudging the truth here. There's no way a professional cricket player did LL. At most you met someone who did LL that tries to play cricket as a hobby - probably poorly.

Dr. Donghoon Lee (South Korea) likens the lengthening procedure to stretching a rubber band. The more you lengthen, the less athletic ability you get back. If you stay within a safe limit, your chances of at least a 85-90% recovery are good if you go to a good doctor and follow a good PT and exercise regimen.

By the way, everything in life is a tradeoff. Stay short and keep 100% athletic ability or become taller and keep 80% athletic ability.

And here's my opinion on the tradeoff: We are all going to lose athletic ability after we hit our mid 30s, so why not enjoy being taller?
