A recent study from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver shows that a regular vigorous exercise program for prepubertal girls can help to prevent osteoporosis when they are older.
A woman's bones are strongest when she is 20 years of age. Each year after that, her bones become progressively weaker. If she lives long enough, she has a 100 percent chance of suffering from osteoporosis. If she breaks her hip from osteoporosis, she has a 20 percent chance of dying from complications within a year. The bigger and stronger her bones at age 20, the less likely she is to develop osteoporosis later on. This study shows that nine-year- old girls who participated in step aerobics twice a week for nine months had bigger and stronger bones than their non-exercising peers. That means that strengthening bones before puberty will help to prevent osteoporosis when a woman is older.
