Long runs can slow down the aging process of bones, say scientists from the University of Camilo Jose Cela (Spain), writes the European Journal of Applied Physiology.

Experts came to this conclusion after they conducted a study of the structure of bones in 200 athletes and 75 volunteers with different attitudes to sports.. This group of volunteers included people who run a marathon or make regular jogging, as well as those who lead a sedentary lifestyle, according to Pannochka, an Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old..

The results, scientists say, indicate that people need to move as much as possible.. This will allow them to preserve their bone density, which means it will protect them from problems with fractures in old age, which often occur in older people, even with minor falls due to the fragility and fragility of worn bones..
