sorry fellas but exercise does increase bone density and strength and helps to reduce bone loss. studies show improved mineral content and bone mineral density. as well,mechanical loading = bone hypertrophy. thats why people who dont do some form of weight-bearing exercise as they grow older have a much higher risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
