Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Working the muscles places stress on bones, which promotes bone density. When muscles pull against bones, it creates stress on the bones, which in turn triggers bone cells to add new bone tissue. This stress is created by physical activity, particularly weight-bearing and resistance exercises. Thus, working muscles through physical activity promotes bone health. Options A and B are not correct because scientific evidence shows that dancing and weight training, respectively, are effective in promoting bone density. Option D is incorrect because weight-bearing activities are effective in maintaining bone mass in both adults and adolescents.
