DO BONE MINERAL DENSITY IMPROVES WITH EXERCISE

Osteoporosis is a serious health problem that diminishes quality of life & Leads to decrease the person’s life.
The intense exercise training program presented here was effective in improving strength, endurance, quality of life parameters, and even BMD in women in their critical early postmenopausal years, Kemmler W, et al., 2002.
Physical activity as a way to prevent osteoporosis is based on evidence that it can regulate bone maintenance and stimulate bone formation including the accumulation of mineral,
Strengthening muscles, Improving balance, and thus reducing the overall risk of falls and fractures.
These exercise-stimulated increases in bone diameter diminish the risk of fractures by mechanically counteracting the thinning of bones and increases in bone porosity.
Seven principles of bone adaptation to mechanical stress
Principles are
(i) Be dynamic, not static;
(ii) Exceed a threshold intensity;
(iii) Exceed a threshold strain frequency;
(iv) Be relatively brief but intermittent;
(v) Impose an unusual loading pattern on the bones;
(vi) Be supported by unlimited nutrient energy; and Include adequate calcium and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) availability. Borer KT, et al., 2005
