Track and field athletes, particularly sprinters, apply more force than distance runners, contributing to higher bone mineral density.

“we do not want to be suggesting that some sports are bad for BMD. That's not the take-home message here.”

“So, you know, we do not want to be suggesting that some sports are bad for BMD. That's not the take-home message here. The take-home message here is if you really have to juice it, what do you want to be doing? Again, even the distance runners here, all of them. So, so you're in in the brown one, in the black one, you know, you have to look at which ones separate men versus uh women, right? So, for example, like blue um sorry um red versus um green is showing you the difference between male and female resistance training, whereas all the swimmers, all the distance runners, all the track and field athletes are in the same bucket.”

“And then we talk about high force impact sports such as football and MMA were associated with the highest BMD values.”

“Now, I'm going to say something else that's kind of unpopular. Not really sure playing college football is a great strategy for increasing your BMD when it comes with so many other injuries. um not to mention all the head trauma.”
