This review summarises current understanding of how bone is sculpted through adaptive
processes, designed to meet the mechanical challenges it faces in everyday life and athletic …

Skeletal muscle is one of the larger organs of the body and is integrally involved in
metabolic processes in both health and disease. The ability to accurately and precisely …

Background Women experience drastic hormonal changes during midlife due to the
menopausal transition. Menopausal hormonal changes are known to lead to bone loss and …

The musculoskeletal system evolved in mammals to perform diverse functions that include
locomotion, facilitating breathing, protecting internal organs, and coordinating global energy …

Aging is associated with a progressive loss of bone-muscle mass and strength. When the
decline in mass and strength reaches critical thresholds associated with adverse health …

Background Age-related bone loss is a major health concern. Only exercises associated
with high-impact and mechanical loading have been linked to a positive effect on bone …

Sarcopenia, which is characterized by a progressive decrease of skeletal muscle mass and
function with aging, is closely related to several common diseases (such as cardiovascular …

Objectives Estimating body mass from skeletal dimensions is widely practiced, but methods
for estimating its components (lean and fat mass) are poorly developed. The ability to …

There are both theoretical and empirical underpinnings that provide evidence that the
musculoskeletal system develops, functions, and ages as a whole. Thus, the risk of …

This study analyses the evaluation of tomographic indicators of tibia structure, assuming that
the usual loading pattern shifts from uniaxial compression close to the heel to a combined …
