Abstract

Despite its prevalence among seniors, the impact of running on trabecular bone microarchitecture, especially in weight-bearing sites, remains relatively unexplored. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the impact of habitual running on bone health, specifically bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone microarchitecture, in male older adults.

Research summary

The paper claims that habitual running positively influences trabecular bone microarchitecture and bone mineral density in older males. This research is relevant as it explores the impact of physical activity on bone health, which is a critical aspect of longevity and aging.
