How does resistance training build bone density?

Your muscles aren't the only thing to benefit when you curl a dumbbell or push against an elastic band. Resistance exercise can help strengthen your bones. How?

Bone will form in lines of stress, so when muscles pull on the bones during weight-lifting or other resistance training, they stimulate the bone to increase its density. That's what makes resistance training a bone-stimulating activity. Now, weight training doesn't have to come in the form of bench-pressing monster trucks.

What's important is that you do some kind of weight-bearing, resistance exercise-that is, your body pushes and pulls against some kind of resistance, whether it's by lifting dumbbells, using an exercise machine, pushing and pulling elastic bands, or even using your own body weight. Using one-eighth pound ankle weights won't do the trick, however. You need to use enough weight to adequately stress your muscles and bones if they want them to get maximum benefit from the exercise.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
