Intense physical activity is great for even children who are genetically predisposed to lower bone density in adulthood, a study recently published advocates. Particularly, high-impact activity builds stronger bones, the study claims. Genetic factors and physical activity have found to be contributing towards to bone mineral density. However, it was unknown if physical activity still stimulates the growth in the children who have genetic factors that can lead to reduced bone mineral density.
The scientists through this research have highlighted that genetics alone do not determine the course of all developmental processes. Scientists and doctors from the USA have published their study in Journal of Bone and Mineral Research this month. The study started in the year 2002 and follow-up of the participants was done until the year 2009. The scientists enrolled a cohort of 918 children and…
