Physical activity decreases the process of bone formation by osteoblasts

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease that, on a cellular level, results from osteoclastic bone resorption not compensated by osteoblastic bone formation. This causes bones to become weak and fragile, thus increasing the risk of fractures.
Detailed explanation-2: -Furthermore, loading activates a molecular response that inhibits sclerostin and allows the activation of Wnt signaling, thereby osteoblastogenesis and bone formation. Finally, exercise shifts the adipogenic-to-osteogenic balance toward the osteoblast formation [21].
