Context: Cross-sectional studies have demonstrated that physical activity can improve bone
mass acquisition. However, this design is not adequate to describe the specific kinetics of …

Physical exercise enhances bone acquisition during adolescence. The aim of the study was
to evaluate the influence of intensive physical exercise on bone acquisition in adolescent …

Context: The effect of physical activity on bone mineral density (BMD) is not well investigated
longitudinally after puberty in men. Objective: Our objective was to evaluate the effect of …

Exercise during growth may contribute to the prevention of osteoporosis by increasing peak
bone mineral density (BMD). However, exercise during puberty may be associated with …

The amount of bone gained during childhood and adolescence impacts greatly on lifetime
skeletal health. The purpose of this review is to summarize current evidence of the effects of …

Objective Intensive physical training may have a sport-dependent effect on bone mass
acquisition. This cross-sectional study evaluated bone mass acquisition in girls practicing …

Abstract Context and Objective: Weight-bearing exercise during growth exerts positive
effects on the skeleton. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that long-term elite rhythmic …

The genetic potentials for growth can be fully expressed only under favourable
environmental conditions. Excessive physical training may negatively affect growth …

Objectives Intense physical activity in peripubertal girls may delay menarche and cause
menstrual disorders and estrogen deficiency, particularly in sport disciplines that require …

Bone mass (BM) and skeletal size are similar in prepubertal girls and boys and double
between the onset of puberty and early adult life. Sex steroids are responsible for the …
