Creator:

Bauer, Jeremy

Abstract:

Introduction: Recent reports in exercise related bone research have shown increased bone mineral content (BMC) at the femoral neck for prepubescent children participating in exercise programs consisting of repeated drop landings from a height of 61 cm. Increases in BMC from this type of exercise are believed to be the...

Bone gains in adolescent athletes and non-athletes

Creator:

Rinder, Todd Anthony

Abstract:

Discordance in bone mass between young adult swimmers and soccer players may be a direct result of differences in bone loading patterns that influence bone mineralization during growth. Our aim was to evaluate whether sports participation (soccer and swimming) had an independent effect on bone mass accrual at the hip...
