Training for stronger bones

Most studies find that strength-trained athletes have greater bone density than resistance-trained athletes. But runners also get repeated jarring impacts from each step when they run. As a result, Hinton found that runners have pretty much the same bone density - relative to their body size - as strength-trained athletes. Cyclists, on the other hand, get neither jarring impacts nor strength training, so they tend to have lower bone density.
