Summary
A new review suggests that vigorous, weight-bearing sports may build stronger bones than walking or conventional strength training alone. Researchers found that activities involving jumping, running, rapid direction changes, and repeated impact—such as handball—can place greater mechanical stress on bones, stimulating them to increase strength and density. Walking remains beneficial for overall health but may provide less bone-building stimulus, particularly for people seeking to prevent age-related bone loss. The findings highlight the importance of incorporating higher-impact exercise when appropriate. Experts stress that people should consider fitness level, age, and injury risk before increasing exercise intensity and choose activities they can perform safely and consistently.
