Summary

Physical activity or appropriate exercise prevents the development of osteoporosis. Accumulating evidence has shown that bone is a highly vascularized tissue, and dysregulation of vasculature is associated with many bone diseases such as osteoporosis or osteoarthritis. Exercise or physical training can prevent osteoporosis in the elderly as a non-drug preventive strategy. Exercise or physical activities produce multiple mechanical loadings, such as tension, compressive, and fluid shear stress, which have beneficial effects on reducing bone loss, increasing bone strength, and preventing osteoporosis in aging people.
