  • The effects of impact plus resistance training on the musculoskeletal system in premenopausal women

    Creator:
    Winters, Kerri M.
    Abstract:
    Low bone mineral density (BMD) and poor stability both contribute to increased risk of fractures associated with a fall. The aim of this dissertation was two-fold. The first study, a cross-sectional analysis, sought to determine the anthropometric and/or performance variables that best predicted BMD and postural stability in mature, premenopausal...

  • The effects of high-impact exercise on bone mass in adolescent girls

    Witzke, Kara A.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated anthropometric and performance measures which best predict bone mineral density (BMD) in 54 adolescent girls (14.6±0.5y; 22.7±14.0 months past menarche). BMD for the whole body, femoral neck, greater trochanter, lumbar spine (L2-L4), and mid-femoral shaft was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Hologic QDR 1000/W). Whole body lean...

  • The growing skeleton : influence of lifestlye and the development of normative data using DXA

    Creator:
    Fuchs, Robyn K.
    Abstract:
    To examine the potential for exercise to build bone mass during growth, objectives of this dissertation included: 1) determine the effects of 7 months of jumping followed by 7 months of detraining on hip and spine bone mass in the prepubertal children; 2) determine variables that best predict bone mineral...
