They get denser
Our bodies grow and change as they need to (at least to an extent). If your body is lifting more weight and putting more stress on the bones, it will slowly strengthen the bones to handle the new loads. Its the same reason lifting builds muscle; we need it so our bodies provide.
He will develop the condition called as osteoporosis, most probably. The bones will lose the weight bearing capacity in that case. As a result the calcium from the bones will be excreted in the urine. The person will get the renal calculi in that case. The bones will get fractured with little trauma.
There is no evidence that weight lifting stunts growth. In fact, bones can become stronger from the exercise. Science has proved that weight training will not stunt your growth even if you start at as young as 10 years old. The real danger is if your not supervised and have bad form injuries may occur.
Basically it's just exercise. Moderate weight lifting or walking stresses bones, which help build and retain bone mass. If bones are not being used, then they will lose their mass.
What happens to the bones when muscle shortening
Mechanical stress and gravity help to promote skeletal remodeling. Swimming is notconsidered a weight-bearing exercise. The water, not bones, supports the body's weight whileswimming.Swimming is not recommended to prevent osteoporosis, as it is not considered a weight-bearing exercise.
What is the main reason that people under 16 years of age should avoid serious weight lifting?A. The accident rate is high among young weight lifters.B. Young hearts are smaller than adult hearts.C. Muscles and bones have not yet finished growing.D. It causes "growing pains."the asnwer is C
All of the bones in the foot (phalanges, metatarsals, and tarsals), the tibia and femur are weight bearing bones. The fibula, which lies next to the tibia in the lower leg is not a weight bearing bone.
Is called Osteoporosis and results in brittle Bones.
