Purpose of Review Physical activity improves proximal femoral bone health; however, it remains unclear whether changes translate into a reduction in fracture risk. To enhance any fracture-protective effects of physical activity, fracture prone regions within the proximal femur need to be targeted. Recent Findings The proximal femur is designed to withstand forces in the weight-bearing direction,...
The peak bone mass concept implies that optimal skeletal development during childhood and adolescence will prevent fractures in late adulthood. This concept is based on the observation that areal bone density increases with growth during childhood, is highest around 20years of age and declines thereafter. However, it is now clear that strong bones in the youngster do not necessarily lead to a fracture-free...
