musculoskeletal health Definition
 Physical activity contributes to the development of
bone mass during childhood and adolescence and to
the maintenance of skeletal mass during adulthood.
Increased bone mineral density during adulthood is positively
associated with aerobic exercise. Through itsload bearing effect on the skeleton, physical activity influences bone density and bone architecture, – the higher the load, the greater the bone mass.

Higher calcium intake has linked to increased bone density in shortterm
studies, but high protein intake and high dairy calcium intake are both related to increased risk of fractures in long-term prospective studies of men and women.
Because ideal calcium intake for development of peak bone mass has not been determined, it has not been established to what extent increased calcium intake will prevent osteoporosis.
