Ball games and circuit strength training boost bone health in schoolchildren

(University of Southern Denmark Faculty of Health Sciences) The type of exercise that children get in school does make a difference. This is shown by a major Danish study from researchers at the University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen. Eight to ten-year-old schoolchildren develop stronger bones, increased muscular strength and improved balance when ball games or circuit training are on the timetable.
