A: Walking is about the best exercise you can do to stave off osteoporosis, as walking
involves mechanical loading, which stimulates the formation of bone.
Not exact matches
In addition, recombinant irisin has also been shown to suppress sclerostin, a protein that is
involved in bone loss during prolonged lack of
mechanical load, such as in bed - ridden patients.
Most people underestimate the importance of eccentric training because they don't know that there is more
mechanical load per motor unit during the eccentric phase of an exercise, and the reason for this is that eccentric contraction
involves fewer motor units.
These short bursts of optimal
loading also provide a high - intensity workout, stimulating the cardiovascular system, and leveraging the benefits referenced by Dr Doug McGuff, «The low resting heart rate and others markers for good health are not really something that's happened in the cardiovascular system, but because the energy producing part of the body like the mitochondria, and all the enzymes
involved in the production of energy, are upregulated (due to quality of
mechanical work with muscle) and become more powerful and efficient.
Initially, it was suggested that the higher
mechanical loads involved in eccentric training must be responsible and many reviews continue to report this as the most likely explanation (see reviews by Rees et al. 2009; Frizziero et al. 2014).
