Ny times: exercise is not the path to strong bones. Exercise has little to no effect on bone strength. Week 5 readings: studies using a dexa machine found bone loss in people who were bedridden and in astronauts but no evidence that bone was gained when walking or running. Exercise may not make bones stronger but it can make them healthier in terms of none quality. Pa inactivity (51% of canadians) is higher than the modifiable risk factors. Men and women with increased levels of pa had lower risk of disease and early death. Increase in physical fitness will reduce the risk of premature death and decrease in fitness will increase the risk: small effort to be fit found major health improvements, benefits seen with as little as 1 hour walk. Benefits extend to those with diseases (cardiovascular) Cardiac rehabilitation reduced the incidence of premature death from any cause and from cardiovascular disease in particular.
