Purpose: Athletes in weight bearing sports may benefit from higher bone mineral density
(BMD). However, some athletes are at risk for impaired BMD with Female Athlete Triad …

Context: Some female athletes may have decreased bone mineral density (BMD), which
puts them at higher risk for stress fractures and future osteoporosis. Objective: To compare …

Purpose: In a number of small studies focused on one or two sports, exercise and
competitive level has been observed to favor attainment of higher bone mineral density …
