Have been tested that exercise at an early age by promoting games and sports from kindergarten, gives effects on bone mineral density are more stable and higher than in subjects who were not stimulated early.
The normal daily physical activity, not subject to specific programs is insufficient stimulus to improve bone mass. Definitely overload exercises allow significant improvements in both sexes and any age on BMD
Excessive physical activity and often highly competitive sport beyond the tolerances of bone stimulation causing negative effects on both physiology and structure of bone.
The effects of exercise on bone tissue are possible only when a food base is established. The effects of recommended intakes of calcium are enhanced by the addition of exercise. This effect is most evident in aged subjects and in women in perimenopausal period.
INTRODUCTION
Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by low bone mass and architecture poor, both increase bone fragility leaving it susceptible to fracture.
One in three postmenopausal women in particular have advanced osteopenia francs osteporosis values. Interestingly, this decline in BMD was significantly correlated with levels of sarcopenia, ie loss of muscle tissue, which characterizes the sedentary elderly. This correlation is less significant in men and women of the same age but who remain physically active. Per year in Europe is recorded about 650,000 hip fractures, which cause a 20% mortality and 50% partial or complete disability.
Other variables or factors that may affect bone metabolism, bone would be the use of psychoactive drugs, loss of muscle strength. In rlacion to fractures, loss of stability and balance, and lost some senses like hearing and sight, predispose to falls and fractures.
In this article we will discuss the relationship between exercise and bone and try to give some idea about the intensity of exercise for optimizing exercise and diet for bone health. (1) (more…)
