Exercise Helps Burn Bone Fat, Make Them Stronger
Exercising burns the fat found within bone marrow and this process improves bone quality in a matter of weeks, says a study.
Exercising burns the fat found within bone marrow and this process improves bone quality in a matter of weeks, says a study.
The study, published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, also suggests that obese individuals - who often have worse bone quality - may derive even greater bone health benefits from exercising than their lean counterparts.
"One of the main clinical implications of this research is that exercise is not just good but amazing for bone health," said lead author Maya Styner, Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the US.
"In just a very short period of time, we saw that running was building bone significantly in mice," Styner said.
Although research in mice is not directly translatable to the human condition, the kinds of stem cells that produce bone and fat in mice are the same kind that produce bone and fat in humans.
In addition to its implications for obesity and bone health, Styner said the research also could help illuminate some of the factors behind bone degradation associated with conditions like diabetes, arthritis, anorexia, and the use of steroid medications.
The research shows it is possible to use exercise to reverse some of the effects on bones.
"With
obesity,
it
seems
that
you
get
even
more
bone
formation
from
exercise.
Our
studies
of
bone
biomechanics
show
that
the
quality
and
the
strength
of
the
bone
is
significantly
increased
with
exercise
and
even
more
so
in
the
obese
exercisers,"
Styner
said.
