Cycling Boosts Osteoporosis Risk
"Unfortunately, many people consider osteoporosis a disease that primarily concerns women and the elderly," said Dr. Warren P. Levy, President, and CEO of Unigene Laboratories.
"Of course, exercise is good for people, but in order to maintain healthy bones, avid cyclists and swimmers should be mindful of incorporating cross-training weight-bearing exercise into their routines.
People do not achieve peak bone mass until their late twenties, so if cyclists or swimmers are in their early or mid twenties, and they're not doing any exercise that's going to load their spine and help them achieve peak bone mass, they may be putting themselves at risk for a fracture," he added.
The study appears in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise.
