Before and After DEXA Scan Results
Boost Your Bone Health with Measured Isometric Strength Training
Some recent before/after DEXA Bone Mineral Density (BMD) scan results from using the viiivPRO to reverse bone loss:
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a critical measure of bone health, reflecting the strength and density of your bones.
Low BMD increases the risk of fractures and osteoporosis, especially as we age.
Fortunately, static contraction strength training can help maintain or even improve BMD.
One innovative tool for this purpose is the viiivPRO measured isometric strength training machine, which provides a safe, accurate and trackable way to enhance bone health.
What Is Isometric Strength Training?
Isometric strength training involves contracting your muscles without moving your joints.
Think of holding a plank or pushing against a wall.
These low-impact exercises are suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.
When done correctly, they strengthen muscles and stimulate bone growth by applying stress to the bones, encouraging the body to build more bone tissue through an adaptive response.
How Does It Improve Bone Mineral Density?
Research shows that isometric exercises can increase BMD.
By applying controlled force to your bones, these exercises trigger the body to deposit more bone tissue.
Studies have found that regular strength training can improve BMD in older adults, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
The viiivPRO allows you to safely maximize these bone growth stimulating forces for optimal results.
Monitoring Progress with Advanced Tools
Tracking BMD improvements requires accurate tools.
DEXA scans, the traditional standard, measure BMD using low-dose radiation.
Alternatively, Echolight scans offer a radiation-free option that assesses both BMD and bone quality, making them ideal for frequent monitoring without X-ray exposure risks.
