How a 'bone-strengthening routine' can help NFL players fight injuries — and the exercises you can try yourself

"Injuries that athletes experience when they are on the field are often attributed to muscles, ligaments, and tendons," begins Kyle Zagrodzky, CEO of OsteoStrong.

"The way to think about bones when it comes to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and/or fractures is that they are the chassis of our body. That's just like you would have a Formula One sports car. It has a chassis that could hold a Formula One engine. And by the same standard, if you took a Formula One engine and you put it in a Toyota Tercel, it would destroy the car."

Zagrodzky is responding to how NFL athletes can expedite their recovery and get back on the field sooner after an injury, following the injuries that have plagued players like Caleb Williams, Jaxson Dart, Jayden Daniels and other NFL stars.

We wanted to find out more about the role bone health plays in getting players back from injury sooner, and whether strengthening the entire musculoskeletal system through 10 minutes of controlled loading per week could be the answer.

"Strengthening bones is directly linked to stronger muscles, stronger ligaments and stronger tendons. How do you strengthen the bones and what happens when you do, when it comes to athletic performance, recovery and injury prevention? The language of bone is force. And specifically, high-impact force can build bone," says Zagrodzky.

"It is often thought that walking, lifting weights, or even jogging or running can strengthen the bones. And in some cases, when it's really high-impact force, like sprinting, it can have an effect on bone density.
