If a patient with osteoporosis begins resistance training, which consequence follows regarding bone remodeling?

💡 Explanation

Resistance training applies mechanical stress to bone, because mechanotransduction stimulates osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone deposition. Therefore, bone density increases due to enhanced bone remodeling, rather than remaining static or decreasing as in osteoporosis alone.
