What are the effects of weight-bearing exercise on bone health?
What will be an ideal response?
There is compelling evidence that engaging in weight-bearing exercise (muscles work against the full effect of gravity) such as walking, running, and resistance training benefits bone health, but only limited research on how this form of exercise can reduce the actual incidence of osteoporosis. Evidence for the bone health benefits of weight-bearing exercise includes documentation of an inverse relationship between physical activity and the incidence of bone fractures in post-menopausal women and in other populations including men. One of the few studies that examined the effect of exercise on incidence of osteoporosis found a dose-response relationship for women age 20 or older.
