Weighted vest exercise improves functional ability in women over 75 years of age

Creator:: Protiva, Karen W.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of long-term weighted vest exercise on hip bone mass, functional ability and static balance in elderly women. This was a within subject exercise intervention study and included a 6-month control period. Twenty-three subjects (age 85 ± 6) were recruited and...

Specific loading protocols to promote bone mineral density in young women

Creator:: LaRiviere, Jane A.
Abstract:: Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD), bone fragility, and an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. The disease is systemic in nature but potential solutions include exercises prescriptions that target the clinically relevant sites of osteoporosis (hip and spine) to improve bone mass. The aim of this dissertation...

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

Creator:: 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 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 epidemiology of fractures among adults with severe mental retardation residing in a state developmental center

Creator:: Downs, Steve B.
Abstract:: This retrospective study investigated the incidence, characteristics, and risk factors of bone fracture among a group of 518 adults with severe mental retardation between 25 and 75 years old. Data were collected from a large state developmental center in the Western United States between April 1, 1991 and March 31,...

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...
