Category - Physical Therapy

Which of the following conditions can possibly be improved by the chronic adaptation of bone formation and degeneration that comes with exercise?
  1. Arthritis
  2. Osteoporosis
  3. Osteoarthritis
  4. Leukemia
Explanation
Answer: B - Osteoporosis can possibly benefit from exercise’s chronic adaptation in regards to bone formation and degeneration. Evidence suggests that the bone will be stimulated to produce more bone cells by inducing the strain associated with resistance training. This may decrease the impact of more rapid demineralization with age.
