Bone Mineral Content and Physical Activity

Year: 1974

Type: article

Abstract: The treatment of osteoporosis is an unsolved medical problem.This study was designed to examine whether increased physical activity can raise the amount of bone mineral in the skeleton, or, at least, retard the reduction with age (cf.Smith 1971, Nilsson & Westlin 1971).The bone mineral content of chosen parts of the skeleton was measured after long-term physical activity and before and after a relatively short period of increased physical activity.
