Relationships between self-reported lifetime physical activity, estimates of current physical fitness, and aBMD in adult premenopausal women

Conclusions Past PA > 7 METS was positively associated with aBMD, and such activity should probably constitute a relatively high proportion of all weekly PA to positively affect aBMD. The findings warrant more detailed investigations in a prospective study, specifically also investigating the potentially negative effects of high impact PA on tibial aBMD.
