People elderly who diligently exercising when young have stronger bones than those not. Thus the conclusion of research Martin Nilsson, physiotherapists at the University Gothenberg, Sweden.

Tim Nilsson analyze bone density and exercise habits of men of various ages. From 2300 young people aged 18 years in the study of Nilsson, those who actively exercise have higher bone density than those not at all. Similar findings were also found among 500 men aged 75 years.

Therefore, the team concludes Nilsson physical activity, especially at the age of 10-30 years is very important. Men who participate in competitive sports at least three times a week throughout the span of two decades have stronger bones than those not.

“Bone responds well when you were younger, and if you train during those times, will stimulate growth. This may be important for bone strength in the future thus reducing the risk of bone fragility,” said Nilsson.
