Building Strong Bones: Running May Provide More Benefits Than Resistance Training, Study Finds:

"University of Missouri researchers have found that high-impact activities, such as running, might have a greater positive effect on BMD than resistance training.

“The results of the study confirm that both resistance training and high-impact endurance activities increase bone mineral density. However, high-impact sports, like running, appear to have a greater beneficial effect,” said Pam Hinton, associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology in the MU College of Human Environmental Sciences."
