I am assuming the study meant increase bone density.
I read a study that corresponds to one of my clients who runs 1/2 marathons. Her bone density keeps rising. There was a study of runners and the bone density increased even though they were older 40+. That was even more pronounced in runners who strength trained. SO yes it can be done.
