Adolescence is the key period for bone development, and poor development at this stage is linked to reduced peak bone mass (the amount of bone mass at the end of the skeletal maturation, around age 30), increased fracture risk and osteoporosis later in life.</p>\n<p>Soccer is better because it comes in the category of weight-bearing. Also, it's reasonable to suppose that weight-bearing, high-impact, high-intensity exercise like tennis, badminton, basketball and handball will have similar effects to soccer.</p>\n<p>Soccer players generally have higher BMC than swimmers and cyclists. Adolescence is the key time for bone growth. Once a person reaches puberty, the next five years are vitally important in this respect.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p37kh5hap","appParentAuthor":"divine-sound","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
