Sammanfattning

High mechanical load in alternating directions with sufficient rest in between the loading periods is one of the best stimuli to enhance bone mass and skeletal structure, both contributing independently to bone strength. The age-frame where skeletal benefits from exercise are largest is in late pre- and early peri-puberty. Recent publications with low level of evidence infer that such skeletal benefits gained during youth are retained in adulthood and translates to a lower fracture risk. In adulthood much less can be gained in the skeleton by physical activity, while in contrast neuromuscular function and muscle strength can be improved also in old ages, with reduced fall risk as consequence. Adverse effects from exercise are few, usually found in individuals with intense activity and usually reversible with reduced activity. Moderately intense physical activity during growth and adolescence should therefore be supported as one strategy to improve bone strength and possibly also reduce the future incidence of fractures.
