Occupational Activities: Factors That Tip the Balance From Bone Accrual to Bone Loss
Mary F. Barbe, Steven N. Popoff
Abstract
It is commonly assumed that beneficial adaptations in bone occur with vigorous exercise, yet any adaptive re/modeling in bone undergoing persistent overloading can be counteracted by superimposed inflammatory, compressive, and tensile loading-induced damage responses above thresholds of tissue fatigue failure and repair. This leads to a tenuous balance between achieving bone accrual and loss.
