Effects of Early-Childhood-Based Interventions Influencing Bones: A Systematic Review Rico-González, Markel Martín Moya, Ricardo Moreno Villanueva, Adrián Randomized controlled trials Health Teaching A healthy lifestyle from early childhood is a crucial factor that influences bone-related factors in adulthood. In this context, physical education or psychomotricity from early childhood is an important opportunity to face this problem. The present article aims to systematically summarize school-based interventions, evaluated through randomized controlled trial design, that influence the bones of children from early childhood. A systematic review of relevant articles was carried out using four main databases (PubMed, ProQuest Central (including 26 databases), Scopus, andWeb of Sciences) until 12 November 2023. From a total of 42 studies initially found, 12 were included in the qualitative synthesis. In brief terms, from early childhood and during puberty, children’s bones are particularly responsive to exercise, making this an ideal time for interventions to maximize bone health. Therefore, incorporating physical activity into school curriculums is a strategic approach for enhancing bone health in children. Mainly, plyometric exercises can significantly enhance bone density and geometry. Nevertheless, collaboration among educators, healthcare professionals, and parents is key for designing and implementing these effective interventions. 2024-05-15T07:19:48Z 2024-05-15T07:19:48Z 2023-12-20 journal article Rico-González, M.; Martín-Moya, R.; Moreno-Villanueva, A.
