Football is an effective type of training to promote musculoskeletal health. The FC Prostate study showed that the number of times the players accelerate and brake during football training is correlated to the changes in leg bone mass. Being challenged by an opponent, changing direction, kicking and blocking the ball provide a wide range of powerful stimuli to the bone tissue, making the bones stronger.
