hysical activity reduces the risk of osteoporosis and fractures associated with it.One of the best ways to obtain and maintain strong bones is physical exercise, noted Professor Helmut Minne, the International Osteoporosis Foundation.
It is in the sense that it intervened in Berlin (Germany) during the World Day of Osteoporosis.
As its name suggests, osteoporosis is characterized by bones become porous and therefore more fragile and more prone to fractures. It causes pain, disability, inability to perform daily tasks. She is also a cause of death.
It is a chronic disease most common and devastating the world. It strikes one in three women aged over 50 years, a proportion higher than that of breast cancer, and one man in five, or more than for prostate cancer.
Because bone is living tissue which renews itself continuously, it requires regular stimulation through physical activity. Like muscles, bones should be used regularly under penalty to deteriorate.
Among girls, the bone tissue accumulated during the period from 11 to 13 years, equivalent to the amount lost during the 30 years following menopause.
The girls more physically active earn about 40% of bone mass supplementary report by the least active of the same age. Similar results were obtained on boys.
