The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
I know that that is protective in so many ways you know I'm thinking about you know reducing my risk of like bone degenerative conditions like osteoporosis when I get old like resistance training anything that applies you know tension and stress on the bone you know those little bone creating cells you know they ramp up and now I've got greater bone density
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

If you start when you've already lost bone density, it's very difficult to get back. You know, you can stave off, you can certainly prevent the progression of osteoporosis, but getting back your bone density becomes much more difficult.
And resistance training, by pulling on the bones, muscle pulling on the bones, so, there's an interaction, your musculoskeletal system is the muscle that allows, when you have movement, it's the muscle pulling on the bones to move. And strength training really is the primary way to strengthen the bones.
