What does weight-bearing exercise mean? What sport does it refer to?
Weight-bearing exercise resists the gravity of the earth on the human body.

Aerobic exercises such as walking, running, skiing, dancing, roller skating and climbing stairs are all weight-bearing exercises.

At the same level of exercise, weight-bearing exercise consumes more calories than swimming, cycling or aerobic exercise in water.
