    Bones provide structure, protection, and allow for movement. They are living tissues that respond to stress by laying down more bone cells to become thicker and stronger. This helps athletes like footballers and rugby players withstand impacts. However, excessive strength training can stress jockeys' bones too much. Not exercising for long periods, like in a hospital, can cause bones to weaken from lack of stress.
