Bone density and bone quality are essential to a long healthy life. Lowered bone density and bone quality increase risk of fractures and negatively impact quality of life. Bone is living tissue that is constantly getting broken down and rebuilt. If we are breaking down bone faster than we are rebuilding it, we end up losing bone density and quality and can end up with osteopenia or osteoporosis.
During childhood, bone density and quality are built naturally through physical activity or exercise. What types of physical exercise? Exercise or activity that creates high G-forces, specifically forces over 4 Gs.
