Effects of physical activities during senior high school on bone mineral density in university freshmen

Key Points

• Bone mineral density significantly correlates with physical activity levels during senior high school, indicating long-term benefits.
• Freshmen who engaged in regular physical activities in high school show improved bone mineral density metrics compared to less active peers.
• Analysis includes data from university freshmen across multiple campuses, highlighting variations in skeletal health based on previous physical activity.
• Findings suggest early-life physical activities may help prevent osteoporosis in later years, emphasizing the importance of exercise.
