Explain why swimming is not generally recommended as an exercise to prevent osteoporosis.? Swimming is an exercise that people do when they cannot put stress on their limbs. When you exercise, like running, jogging, etc. this puts stress on your limbs. The stress causes the bones in your legs to produce more red blood cells in response. So if you have osteoporosis, it's is beneficial to have this sort of stress. When you swim, there is not a lot of weight being carried by your bones. Bones become denser when you bear a significant amount of weight on them. Walking, running, weightlifting, and sports do a great job of building bone density. I do that stuff, and I have never had a broken bone in my life. In order to help prevent osteoporosis, you need weight-bearing exercises, such as walking or running. Swimming is not weight-bearing. Your body responds to weight-bearing exercise by building stronger bones. |
