Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason why light exercises strengthen bones but intense exercise cause fractures.
Concept Introduction:
Bones are strong rigid structures which get hardened due to the deposition of calcium and phosphate. They form the structural framework of the body and help in locomotion.

Exercise is vital part of astronauts’ daily routine. But despite having exercise regularly, they will still feel bone weakness after long expedition in space. Why do you think this happens?
Swimming is considered good exercise for muscle mass and overall cardiorespiratory fitness. How would you expect swimming to affect bone mass and density?
