The image features a text-based graphic discussing the benefits of strength training for muscle and bone health. The mood is informative and instructional, aimed at runners and individuals interested in fitness.
Text in image: When you load your muscles through strength training, you’ll see improvements in cross-sectional area (size), length, and strength after approximately 20 days.
Bone takes longer to change.
Increased bone diameter, thickness, and volume don’t become significant until 40 to 80 days.
For all the runners with a history of bony stress injuries, start your “bone prep” sooner than your running.
