Would decades of squats, deadlifts, free weights/kettlebells and a plethora of compound exercises build up enough hip/femoral bone density and muscle to withstand most chances of hip breaks occurring? Or most bone breakages, period?
I’m assuming most of the population does not engage in serious exercise regiments, but we rarely have studies performed solely on a highly athletic/strong cohort, so I have to be the glib one and ask if bodybuilders are exempt from these “frail in old age” studies.
One great study we’ve had done recently is how the heart is sculpted as pertaining to exercises that are done, namely cycling, swimming, lifting heavy weights, and rowing all exhibit their own reconfiguration of heart walls/chambers.
