If this were a mechanism that appeared under some kind of evolutionary pressure. What would that be? In which situations a normal mammal find its bones squished (but not crushed)? Or is it just a side effect of something else going on?

So in mice running doesn't do it but vice grips on the bones do?

How would that translate to lifting weights or other exercises?
