Which activity is listed as part of general osteoporosis guidelines?

• A. Jumping
• B. Lunging
• C. Sweating
• D. Walking

Answer: (D)

General osteoporosis guidelines emphasize safe, weight-bearing activities that support bone health and balance. Walking fits this well because it is a weight-bearing, moderate-impact activity that can be done regularly, helping maintain bone strength in important areas like the hips and spine while also improving balance and mobility with relatively low fracture risk. Jumping involves higher impact forces that can stress fragile bones, increasing fracture risk. Lunging places substantial load on the knees and hips and can be challenging for someone with osteoporosis. Sweating is a physiological response, not a type of activity. So walking is the activity listed.
