Freq bone-strengthening

Definition

  • The frequency (days/week, hours/day, etc.) a patient spends doing bone-strengthening activities (sometimes called weight-bearing or weight-loading activity). This kind of activity is commonly produced by impact with the ground and promotes bone growth and strength. According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines (PAG) for Americans, children and adolescents should include bone-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days of the week as part of their 60 or more minutes of daily physical activity. Bone-strengthening activities can also be aerobic and muscle-strengthening. Examples include running, jumping rope, basketball, tennis, and hopscotch.
