Results: Women who walk more than 7.5 miles per week had higher mean bone density of the whole body and of the legs and trunk regions of the body than women who walk less than 1 mile per week. The current level of walking activity was reflective of lifelong walking habits. The number of miles walked per week was also correlated with longitudinal rates of change in bone density at the legs (rp = 0.16, p = 0.03).

Conclusions: Healthy postmenopausal women who walk approximately 1 mile each day have higher whole-body bone density than women who walk shorter distances. Walking is also effective in slowing the rate of bone loss from the legs. These results strongly support the widely held belief that walking is a beneficial form of physical activity for maintaining skeletal integrity.[/quote]

Bones are strengthened when they are stressed. They are stressed by jolts (jumping, jumping jacks, rebound jumps, strength training with heavy weights, etc.) walking does not stress the bones.[/quote]

So you're saying the old data is inaccurate?[/quote]
