Abstract
This review will focus on the effect of physical activity on the density of bones - a topic that until recently has been mentioned only briefly in most major monographs on bone. The relationship between physical activity and bone density is a subject of considerable current interest. Decreases in bone density and subsequent depletion of skeletal mass lead to osteoporosis, the most common skeletal disorder in the world and the leading cause of fracture in the elderly. Thus, clarification of the role of physical activity as a determinant of bone density is a topic of importance and relevance. Verf.-Referat
