How Much Exercise Do You Need to Protect Your Bones? Science Has an Answer.
Reported byOutside ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A meta-analysis of 124 clinical trials involving 18,429 people aged 40 and older found that roughly 20–25 minutes daily of brisk walking, jogging, or resistance training slows age-related bone mineral density loss and reduces fracture risk, with mind-body exercises like Tai Chi associated with a 42 percent lower fracture risk.
The study notes that data on race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status were rarely reported and could not be included, limiting conclusions about equity in exercise effects across populations.
