OSTEOPEROSIS

osteoporosis is a common bone disorder ;
 -caused by low bone density and deterioration of bone tissue.
-it weakens bones making them vulnerable to fractures and brakes
-hip, spine and wrists are most commonly affected.
-mostly associated with old people and post menapausial women.
-a sudden bump or fall in contact/high impact sports to someone affected with osteoporosis could result in serious breakage/fracture.
   RISK TO OSTEOPOROSIS;
-inactivity as a child
-serious injury from young/adolescent age.
 Physical Activity and Osteoporosis;
-PA is important when maintaining healthy bones.
-best way to prevent OP is through a healthy lifestyle in childhood.adolescent years
-peak bone density occurs in early adulthood, a high peak bone density reduces the risk of OP in later life.
-however to much PA as a child could result in serious injury which would counter the effect and maybe lead to osteoporosis in later life.
