Why does increased mechanical loading from high-impact exercise initially weaken bone before strengthening via remodeling?

💡 Explanation

Microdamage accumulates because the initial remodeling response lags behind the rate of damage induced by increased mechanical stress; therefore, bone weakens until osteoblasts can repair and reinforce the bone, rather than immediate osteoclast apoptosis or direct nutrient limitation.
