As the incidence of osteoporosis-related fractures is increasing and constitutes a major health problem in the Western world, their prevention is of great importance. Physical activity, combined with adequate calcium intake and hormone levels, is necessary for the formation and maintenance of bone tissue. The effects of physical exercise on bone tissue variables are most beneficial when it is intensive, regular, and of weight-bearing character. Physical exercise may also be of value in the future treatment of osteoporosis. In addition to its skeletal effects, such exercise improves physical fitness, muscle strength and co-ordination, resulting in a reduced risk of fractures and improved quality of life.
随着骨质疏松症相关骨折的发病率不断上升，且在西方世界构成一个重大的健康问题，预防此类骨折至关重要。体育活动，再加上充足的钙摄入和激素水平，对于骨组织的形成和维持是必要的。当体育锻炼强度大、规律且具有负重性质时，其对骨组织变量的影响最为有益。体育锻炼在未来骨质疏松症的治疗中可能也具有价值。除了对骨骼的影响外，此类锻炼还能提高身体素质、肌肉力量和协调性，从而降低骨折风险并改善生活质量。
