Introduction Exercise is a protective factor for the appearance of osteoporosis, but not all
physical activities have the same effect on bones. Low-impact sports, like swimming, may a …

BACKGROUND: To examine the role of long-term swimming exercise on regional and total
body bone mineral density (BMD) in men. METHODS: Experimental design: Cross-sectional …

This study aimed to compare the bone-mineral-density (BMD), vitamin-D (25 (OH) D), serum-
calcium and serum-phosphorus levels between female athletes engaged in weight-bearing …

Training for and participation in impact-loading sports are associated with alterations in
bone strength which are specific to anatomical site and type of strain. The effect of exercise …

The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to estimate the changes in bone mineral
density (BMD) as a consequence of exercise in female exathletes and agematched …

This meta-analysis aims to determine the effects of regular swimming on bone mineral
density (BMD) in young adults (18–30 years). A systematic search was performed in …

Weight-bearing activity provides an osteogenic stimulus, while effects of swimming on bone
are unclear. We evaluated bone mineral density (BMD) and markers of bone turnover in …

To address the hypothesis that osteogenic effect of physical loading increases with
increasing strain rates and peak forces, we examined 59 competitive Finnish female athletes …

Background Exploring the osteogenic effect of different bone-loading sports is particular
relevant to understand the interaction between skeletal muscle and bone health during …

To examine the role of skeletal loading patterns on bone mineral density (BMD), we
compared eumenorrheic athletes who chronically trained by opposite forms of skeletal …
