Question

Explain how exercise impacts bone health and osteoporosis. Please explain in great detail.

Answer 1

Ans) Osteoporosis is characterised by the loss of calcium in a person's bones, which makes them more likely to fracture (break). Exercising regularly reduces the rate of bone loss and conserves bone tissue, lowering the risk of fractures. Exercise also helps reduce the risk of falling.

- Exercise works on bones much like it works on muscles — by making them stronger. Because bone is a living tissue, it changes in response to the forces placed upon it. When you exercise regularly, your bone adapts by building more cells and becoming more dense.

- Vital at every age for healthy bones, exercise is important for treating and preventing osteoporosis. Not only can exercise improve your bone health, it can also increase muscle strength, coordination, and balance, and lead to better overall health.

- Exercises for Bone Density
With resistance training, the force of muscle pulling against bone appears to be enough to stimulate bone growth even if the actual stress placed on the bone is moderate. The range of exercises linked to increased BMD include: Weight training, especially squat exercises. Body weight exercises.
