Exercise.
The exercise involves a mechanical stimulus that promotes bone remodeling. Acting on it in 2 ways: first, the tension generated directly into the bone by the weight that has to endure to perform weight-bearing exercises, being the more effective the longitudinal forces to the bone (eg running drills, jumping, taconeo …); and, secondly, to do any exercise, the muscles contract and subject to other stresses to the bone by pulling on the insertion points.
Examples of exercises:
-Exercises in charge: walking, jumping, climbing stairs, jogging, aerobics, etc..
