I dont know, but Ill let u know

anonymous · Answer

Muscular training would help increase bone density.

anonymous · Answer

Would it? I thought that would increase muscle mass but not bone density.. I also think swimming might be a good one..

anonymous · Answer

Swimming wouldn't increase bone density. It doesn't place any stress on our bones. Because of that, it doesn't stimulate bone growth. Take a look at this article: http://www.spma.net/swimosteo.htm

On the other hand, weight training (muscular training) is very good for increasing bone density. Take a look at this article: http://www.naturalnews.com/010528_bone_density_mineral.html Muscular training does increase muscle mass. But it places stress on our bones. So it also increases bone density.
