What distinguishes why bone mineral density increases with resistance exercise differently than with increased dietary calcium?

💡 Explanation

Resistance exercise increases bone mineral density due to the stimulation of osteoblast bone formation by mechanical stress, therefore building new bone. Dietary calcium increases bone density through mineral availability, rather than directly stimulating bone-forming cells, because it is an indirect hormonal mechanism.
