“Numerous studies have shown that strength training can play a role in slowing bone loss, and several show it can even build bone.”
“strength training, in particular, has bone benefits beyond those offered by aerobic weight-bearing exercise. It targets bones of the hips, spine, and wrists, which are the sites most likely to fracture.”
“resistance workouts — particularly those that include moves emphasizing power and balance… reduce fractures another way — by cutting down on falls.
