The constant cracking of bones throughout the body in young people may be caused by joint compression. This is a very common physiological phenomenon; when a young person exercises, changes in pressure within the joints can cause them to crack. However, in some cases it may be pathological. Some individuals might have joint hypermobility syndrome, resulting in poorer joint stability. Therefore, functional exercises are essential to prevent excessive wear of the articular cartilage and to avoid developing joint inflammation later in life.
