(ARX) adaptive resistance exercise New Jersey Bone density of the typical adult human is thickest around the ages of twenty five to thirty. After the age of thirty, bone density typically begins to decline due to what most consider aging. With large declines in bone mineral density, people begin a chronic degenerative disease known as osteoporosis. Millions around the globe are affected by osteoporosis. Lower than normal bone density leads to increased injury, fracture and unfortunately in the elderly, even death.
Human physiology is fascinating as are the laws of the universe. One law that may be considered universal is known as, Wolff’s Law. Wolff’s Law simply states, “that bone in a healthy person or animal will adapt to the loads under which it is placed. If loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger to resist that sort of loading. The internal architecture of the trabeculae undergoes adaptive changes, followed by secondary changes to the external cortical portion of the bone, perhaps becoming thicker as a result. The inverse is true as well: if the loading on a bone decreases, the bone will become less dense and weaker due to the lack of the stimulus required for continued remodeling”. This same principle (law) applies as well to tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. This is why individuals post surgery should be up and moving as soon as possible as to avoid further weakening of an area that is already weak and needs to be strengthened at least to normal load to avoid injury. The driver osteoporotic patients must use to prevent fractures is increased load of mechanical tension. Another word for this is load bearing exercise. With the proper loading (resistance exercise), is applied to your bones, tendons, and ligaments, they are forced to adapt to become more resilient. In other words, you become stronger from a structural perspective and with that greatly decrease your risk of injury. With that being said, the safest and best manner, which to increase load bearing exercises to increase density of bone, ligaments and tendons is resistance exercise with ARX technology. The ARX Fit can load each and every individual to a level that is perfectly optimized without concern of injury. One of the most efficient and effective ways to load your bones, tendons and ligaments is via eccentric contraction (negatives), as your body must handle high levels of loading. It adapts with thicker and stronger bone mass. It is through the largely unique ability to place an overload of eccentric movement on the human skeletal system that makes the ARX the most advanced tool in the world to safely and effectively improve and maintain your bone density and integrity.
