Abstract:

Due to the short levers muscles work with, muscular forces produced during physical activity provide by far the largest routine stresses which the bones experience. Bone readily adapts to this loading, such that physical activity is arguably the key determinant of postnatal bone shape and structure. Despite this, the efficacy of exercise interventions to improve bone health in adults has been limited. During this session we will discuss the associations described above, and factors that may explain the inability to translate our knowledge in this area into clinical therapies. We will discuss how clinicians can safely advise on physical activity, and conclude by examining the important role that the earliest exposures to muscular action prenatally and in infancy have in determining bone mass
