| How Can An Athlete Stimulate New Bone Formation? |
|
Definition
- Use exercises that directly load particular regions of the skeleton
- Use structorual exercises that is exercises tath involve many muscle groups at once, direct force vectors through the spine and hip and appy loads haeavier than single joint exercies
- Progressively overlaod the musculoskeletal sustem and progressively increase the load as the tissues become accustomed to the stimulus
- Vary exercise sleection, changing the distribution of the force vectors to continually preset a unique stimulus for new bone formaton
