Q: What exercises build bone density? |
|
|
|
A: Bones respond to mechanical pressures applied to them. Areas under stress often respond by becoming thicker and stronger. Weight-bearing exercises help build bones by putting pressure on them. In addition, weight-bearing exercises promote muscle strength and development, also linked to stronger, denser bones. Examples of helpful exercises include walking, jogging, hiking and weight training. |
