Why would you expect the arm bones of a weight lifter to be thicker and heavier than those of a jogger?
The larger arm muscles of the weight lifter would apply more mechanical stress to the bones of the upper limbs. In response tothat stress, the bones would grow thicker. For similar reasons, we would expect the jogger to have heavier and thicker thigh bones.

Why do bone have increased calcium and phosphate levels due to exercise?
This is a good question! The calcium and phosphate level increase due to exercise. This is physiological response to stress of exercise. Your bones and muscles develop due to exercise. The bones becomes stronger and stronger as you give more and more stress to them. The stress lines also change as per requirement of the stress. Your bones get weak, when you put a plaster for fracture. This happens due to disuse of the bones.
