Description
Osteogenic Loading: A New Modality to Facilitate Bone Density Development
For over a century, osteoporosis has been viewed as an inevitable aspect of the aging process. However, recent technological advancements may require a reevaluation of this disease state.
A new exercise intervention called osteogenic loading has emerged, which involves growing new bone mass through axial loading of the musculoskeletal system. This simple yet effective approach can be safely prescribed for most populations and has been shown to improve strength and bone health, as well as increase force production and balance.
