Do athletic people and muscle heads have more problems with their bones later in life?

Answer 1

Hell no. If anything their bones are stronger than your regular couch potato or girlie man (I had to say that after you said "muscle head").

The continual working of the bone, whether it be by impacts or working the muscle will actually strengthen the bone rather than weaken it. You will find their bones are larger and denser than normal type people.

What you will find is they might have more trouble with their joints later in life. High impact exercises, like running are terrible for the ankle, knee and hip joints. Eventually the cartilage just loses some of it's cushioning and elasticity. There are ways to counteract or lessen the impact but there's no way to elminiate it completely.

Answer 2

Not really. If they practiced bad form than yes they might have problems with bones later in life and if they suffered injuries yes but otherwise no they will have better bones than people who are not athletic and are not muscle heads because their bones are stronger.

Answer 3

No, unless they had injuries or used steroids. Athletes often have joint problems because of injuries
Proper physical activity makes your bones stronger and denser

Answer 4

"Muscle Heads"? I haven't heard that one in years. Anyway, no, they have a tendency to have more joint pain from overuse, and wear and tear on the cartilage, but they have healthier bones than most.

Answer 5

It depends on how you exercise.
Exercise is excellent (and highly recommended) for health and longevity.
If you exercise as your doctor recommends, I bet you'll feel better all around.
I suspect that doctors tell stunt people (who HAVE to be in shape) to find other employment if a happy body is their goal.
Do it, but don't overdo it.

Answer 6

muscle heads ? wat is this the 1990's

no, not if you take care of yourself, early injuries may reselt in problems later on, but not just b/c ur fit. they are much better off then fat people that sit around the house and do nothing.

Answer 7

only if they are as serious about lifting as they are when they are young as when they are 70. As you get older, that muscle turns to fat and can lead to heart attacks so you gotta be smart, as you get older you gotta do lower wieght more reps for more toning instead of muscle build, cardio is great for you always, but just from lifting i don't know if you will have bones problems, diffenatly from sports but lifting i don't know
