The following tips from the AAOS will help get your kids(and you) moving while building better, stronger bones: * Move it. Make physical activity a part of a child’s schedule for at least 30 to 60 minutes per day. Make it fun. With fall weather coming in, walking around the block to see the colors, throwing a football in the yard, or riding a bike is a perfect way to engage with your kids and still get in some exercise. Bonus? Being outside gets you and the kids some much-needed vitamin D, which also helps build strong bones. * Watch what you eat. Life is busy. Which makes on-the-run snacks and meals an easy fix for harried par- ents. Unfortunately, most of this kind of food does not have the nutrients to ensure good bone health. Ado- lescents should consume a healthy diet with calcium to maintain strong bones and lower the risk of exces- sive weight gain. * Lift things up, and put them down. Studies show that strength training is key to healthy bones. During resistance training, muscles have to work harder and, over time, become stronger. Although resistance exer- cises focus on increasing muscle mass, they also put stress on bones and have bone-building capacity. * Set limits. It’s understandable that kids’ whims change with the seasons, as do the number of teams they want to play on. However, try to limit the number of teams a child plays on in one season to avoid over- use injuries. In addition, if your child tells you that something hurts, discourage him or her from playing through the pain. For more information, visit orthoinfo.org.
