reacts to weight-bearing

exercise by growing stronger.

means any exercise where

you are supporting the weight of your own body.

Are these weight-bearing?

Which sports will build strong bones?

Football

Netball

Basketball

Rounders Hockey

• Team sports like football,

netball and hockey are good

for bone building.

• Tennis is another high impact but enjoyable sport that builds bone strength.

What do you do each day to build strong bones?

Exercise
