"Kids’ gains in bone strength through physical play and team sports outweigh risks of forearm fractures."
From an article about research on causes of fractures in kids, which are commonly forearms. It looked at boys and girls. While the associations were somewhat different, it suggested that activity and diet were important not just for kids as kids, but for their whole lives.
Meanwhile, it also mentioned that there's been an uptick in the number of fractures in kids, which prompted the study, but seemingly is also prompting some parents to keep their kids away from physical activity. Conclusion of article? Don't do that. Activity is more likely to prevent than cause a fracture.
