The reduction of physical activity reflects on the bone mass among young females: a follow-up study of 142 adolescent girls

Abstract
Maintenance of positive effects of physical activity on growing bone is unknown. Physical activity was associated with increased BMC and BMD in a 7-year follow-up with 142 adolescent girls. Marked reduction in physical activity had an unfavorable effect on bone measurements, which is an important finding when the prevention of osteoporosis is considered.
