Evidence in human studies of the association of long term habitual exercise with bone
mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) largely comes from studies in athletes. In young …

To examine whether physical exercise is beneficial in preventing postmenopausal
osteoporosis, we measured bone mineral density (BMD) in three distinct groups of healthy …

Background Exercise has been shown to have positive effects on bone density and strength.
However, knowledge of the time-course of exercise and bone changes is scarce due to lack …

Intense exercise during childhood and adolescence may result in primary amenorrhea and
low peak bone mineral density (BMD). After puberty, exercise may result in secondary …

Recent reports indicate an increase in forearm fractures in children. Bone geometric
properties are an important determinant of bone strength and therefore fracture risk …

Physical activity during growth has been associated with altered cortical bone geometry, but
it remains uncertain if the physical activity–induced increments in cortical bone size remain …

Context: The relationship between physical activity, trabecular microstructure, and cortical
geometry in weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing bone has not previously been studied …

Context: Although the positive effect of well-designed exercise regimes on bone mineral
density (BMD) is established the osteo-anabolic relevance of habitual physical activity and …

Bone mineral density (BMD) was compared between 7-11-yr-old female gymnasts (GYM: N=
16) with a history of high volume impact loading (minimum of 15 h. wk-1 for past 2 yr) and …

A total of 76 women were enrolled and 55 naturally postmenopausal women completed a 12
month study investigating the effects of aerobic training plus calcium supplementation on …
