← Human Body & HealthIf a patient with osteoporosis begins consistent, high-impact weight training, which remodeling outcome is most likely?
A)Decreased bone mineral density
B)Increased osteoblast activity and mineralization✓
C)Elevated risk of spontaneous fractures
D)Reduced collagen fiber alignment in bone
💡 Explanation
Consistent, high-impact weight training stimulates bone remodeling by increasing mechanical stress. This activates osteoblasts to deposit new bone tissue, leading to increased mineralization because of Wolff's Law; therefore, option B is correct, rather than the other options that describe bone degradation.
