Not a well-studied question. Resistance training seems to reliably increase some factors within BMD (mainly sclerostin and osteocalcin) but the increases are generally clinically insignificant, ie they aren’t big enough to even budge the osteoporotic fracture risk calculation.

This highlights why resistance training and adequate bioavailable bone minerals are so critically important during development. For the most part, once you’re 30 maintenance is really the name of the game.
