All these ideas, gadgets, advertisements, are difficult to sort and know what’s trust worthy , authoritative. I spoke to someone at Osteostrong about hopping on one foot and also the vibration plates and he said they DONT improve bone density because in order to do so you have to increase your impact by 4 times your weight.
That means if I’m 5 feet tall I’d have to jump from 8-10 high .
Then break a bone! How to find out if this is valid?
So I really am perplexed by finding information I can trust in this area.
The hopping study needs more people to try in order to get a wider picture. It was based on 50 women and I think in the Osteopenia category for their T-scores but I’m not totally sure.

Our results align with the existing data. Pellikaan et al. reported a hip joint contact force range of 6.0–7.57 BW during self-selected unilateral hopping. (Self selected height for hop-not exceptional height)
This is from a recent study listed in National Institute of Health. https://scholar.google.com/scholar_url

@meri8181 I understand. You have to listen to your body and do what you feel comfortable with. I posted my scores to this group.
