Study recommends teen exercise to prevent osteoporosis
23 Dec 2008
New research has shown that teenagers who are active reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life.
Researchers at the Suzuka University of Medical Science, Japan, showed that regular exercise through playing ball games could help keep a young adult's bones healthy for over 40 years.
The study, which is due to be published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, questioned a number of women and looked at the effect of weight-bearing exercises like handball, volleyball and tennis.
It was found that this type of activity, as well as high-impact sprinting, led to long-term bone health for those who took part between the ages of 12 and 18.
"Weight-bearing exercise during growth affects bones and these effects may be preserved as bone mineral content, geometric and structural advantages of bone strength even after 40 years," the report said.
In an article posted earlier this year on the About.com Women's Health page, Tracee Cornforth recommended an adequate level of calcium to help prevent osteoporosis in women.
