Musculoskeletal Benefits from a Physical Activity Program in Primary School are Retained 4 Years after the Program is Terminated

Abstract: Daily school physical activity (PA) improves musculoskeletal traits. This study evaluates whether the benefits remain 4 years after the intervention. We followed 45 boys and 36 girls who had had 40 min PA/school day during the nine compulsory school years and 21 boys and 22 girls who had had 60 min PA/school week (reference), with measurements at baseline and 4 years after the program terminated. Bone mineral content (BMC; g) and bone mineral density (BMD; g/cm2) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiomet… Show more

“…Three and seven years after termination of the intervention, there was no adverse bone metabolism (low bone formation/high bone resorption) in the individuals with former daily school PA. These results strengthen the view that daily school PA during compulsory school years is associated with residual bone mass benefits in adulthood ( Rosengren et al, 2021a , b ).…”

“…In this study, we found no indications of adverse bone metabolic effects (low bone formation and/or high bone resorption) after withdrawal from the PA intervention. This provides a plausible explanation for the previously reported residual long-term bone mass benefits in individuals with daily school PA ( Rosengren et al, 2021a , b ). We were unable to draw causal conclusions regarding high PA in childhood and the absence of adverse effects on the bone turnover when the intervention is terminated.…”

“…( 19 , 24 , 25 ) Our recent publication indicated that a school‐based PA program is associated with beneficial effects that may remain into adolescence. ( 26 ) However, because this study followed the participants for only a short period after the intervention terminated as well as being conflicted by a large drop out frequency, there is a need to repeat the follow‐up with longer retirement period and higher attendance rate. Due to the conflicting results, there is a need for longitudinal, controlled intervention studies that follow individuals before initiation of a PA intervention, through the intervention, and thereafter.…”
