Why would running and jumping have a larger effect on bone health than walking?
A)Osteoblasts are less active and osteoclast are more active when there is mechanical stress placed on bones.
B)Osteoblasts are more active and osteoclast maintain normal activity when there is mechanical stress placed on bones.
C)Mechanical stress does not have an influence on osteoblast and osteoclast activity.
D)Running and jumping will prevent demineralization over time.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mechanical stress placed on bones during running and jumping can stimulate osteoblasts to deposit more bone tissue, while maintaining normal activity of osteoclasts. This leads to improved bone health and density in the long term. In contrast, walking may not provide sufficient mechanical stress to trigger this response.
