CSCS Daily Practice Question #41
Why is the concept of minimal essential strain (MES) important for designing programs to stimulate bone growth?
A. The MES threshold is the same for all skeletal sites and athletes
B. Forces exceeding the MES threshold signal osteoblasts to initiate new bone formation, while forces below the MES do not stimulate bone remodeling regardless of volume, making specificity of loading critical
C. Bone will adapt to any amount of loading regardless of magnitude
Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below in the comments! I'll follow up with my breakdown of the question after enough people have responded.
From Chapter 5: Adaptations to Anaerobic Training Programs
DCO Code: 1.D2
