Regular weight‐bearing physical activity is essential for the development of a strong and healthy skeleton. This concept is of particular importance during childhood and adolescence, because over half of peak bone mass is accrued during the teenage years, accompanying the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the pubertal growth spurt.(1) The skeletal loading associated with exercise has also been shown in both animal and human models to augment bone size and strength, thus facilitating the development of a structurally optimized skeleton,(2–4) and data from clinical trials support the skeletal benefits of exercise, particularly during periods of growth.(5–7) However, the exercise prescription that yields optimal bone accrual and skeletal strength for the pediatric skeleton is unknown. Thus, the article of Detter and colleagues (8) in this issue of the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research is timely and of high interest.The study of Detter and colleagues (8) was elegantly designed, using data from a prospective, population‐based, controlled exercise intervention study with incident fractures, and bone mass and structure as outcomes. The Malmo Pediatric Osteoporosis Prevention (POP) Study captured data from 417 girls and 500 boys in their intervention group and 835 girls and 869 boys in the control group, each age 6 to 9 years at study entry. The children were enrolled in four neighboring elementary schools in Sweden, from a middle‐class socioeconomic status, and each school was government funded, necessitating use of a compulsory standard Swedish physical education curriculum. Although representing a convenience sample, these aspects of the study are noteworthy because there was less variability at baseline with respect to physical activity. The four schools were also similar in size, which is important given how the treatment was assigned in the current exercise intervention trial. One of the four schools was offered to participate as the intervention school, with the other three serving as controls. Fracture incidence was assessed in all participants. Importantly, a sophisticated surveillance system was employed with all fractures verified radiographically. Fractures during the 6‐year period were registered in radiological archives from the hospital and a computerized database that included all radiographs obtained in southern Sweden. As there was only one emergency hospital in the city, virtually all fractures were captured, a unique system that has been previously shown to miss less than 3% of all sustained
