Weight-bearing exercise builds bone density builds your muscular strength so that you can hold your body up where those bones have a tendency to get weak.
Certain kinds of speed flow intensity density of attacks density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is I think easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude a common language.
