1) Regular exercise can help prevent and treat osteoporosis by strengthening muscles and bones. Weight-bearing and resistance exercises are especially important.
2) Studies have shown that athletes have higher bone density than non-athletes, and weight lifters have the highest bone density of all athletes. Regular exercise from a young age is important for building strong bones.
3) For those with osteoporosis, individualized exercise programs focused on strengthening specific areas like the back, hips, and wrists through low-impact exercises can help prevent fractures and increase bone mineral density.
