The importance of a life long commitment to physical activity is generally accepted to prevent osteoporosis. About half of peak bone mass is accumulated during adolescence, and the ability of bone to adapt to mechanical loading is much greater in children than after maturity, based on the preceding review of bone related research. Therefore, weight-bearing physical activity during children is more important to maximize bone mineral acquisition and prevent osteoporosis in addition to well-balanced diet.
