DAILY EXERCISE COULD LEAD TO HEALTHIER BONES IN MEN

High-impact exercise during adolescence and young
adulthood is linked to healthier bones in middle-aged men, reveals a study. According to researchers,
individuals who continuously
participated in high-impact activities such as jogging and tennis during adolescence and
young adulthood had greater hip
and lumbar spine bone mineral
density than those who did not. "While osteoporosis is commonly associated with only
post-menopausal women, it is,
in fact, a serious issue for men
as well," said Pamela Hinton
from the University of Missouri. Research has shown that the
consequences of osteoporosis
can be much worse for men as
they are less likely to be
diagnosed and are at a greater
mortality risk from fractures that occur as a result of a fall. To protect men against
osteoporosis, researchers
aimed to understand the
connection between bone- loading exercise during adolescence and young
adulthood when the skeleton is
still growing and bone mass in
middle age. For the study, published in the
American Journal of Men's
Health, researchers analysed
data from the physical histories
of 203 males aged 30-65 years. Participants' sports and
exercise histories varied, both in
type and level of activity, and
the length of time spent doing
various physical activities also
differed. The researchers found that
exercise-associated bone
loading during adolescence and
young adulthood benefited bone
density in adulthood. Moreover, they found that high-
impact activity during growth
and adulthood is an important
determinant for bone health later
in life. "The most important take away
is that if you are healthy, it is
never too late to begin high-
impact activities or resistance
training to improve bone mineral
density," Hinton noted.

Nice one poster, this is a matured and life saving post unlike
yeyebrity pix that has no possitive effect on human life.
