Bone Health for Life

Belinda Beck is a renowned expert in bone health and exercise physiology, known for her evidence-based approach to preventing and reversing osteoporosis. Her presentations and research focus on how mechanical loading—especially through resistance training—can significantly improve bone density and reduce fracture risk.

Presentation Highlights: "Bone Health for Life"

• The physiology of bone and how it adapts to mechanical stress.

• The importance of childhood and adolescence in building peak bone mass.

• How resistance training, even heavy lifting, can improve bone strength in older adults.

• The LIFTMOR study, which showed that high-intensity resistance training is safe and effective for postmenopausal women with low bone density.
