Walking, jogging, and traditional weight training may be less effective for bone tissue formation compared to sports like football and handball, according to research from Semmelweis University. Activities involving explosive movements, jumps, and quick direction changes may better stimulate bone formation processes. The study analyzed 24 clinical trials with 1,238 healthy adults, revealing that recreational football and handball were linked to increases of up to 45-46% in biological markers indicating bone tissue formation. In contrast, walking and jogging showed lesser effects. The findings highlight the importance of diverse physical activities, especially for maintaining bone health with age. However, the results should be interpreted cautiously, as the increase refers to biological markers, not direct bone density increases.
