Background Exercise is widely recommended to reduce osteoporosis, falls and related
fragility fractures, but its effect on whole bone strength has remained inconclusive. The …

Authored by experts of international renown, the new edition of The Biomechanics of Back
Pain forms a bridge between the latest research and the effective clinical management of …

Genetic and early environmental differences including early health habits associate with
future health. To provide insight on the causal nature of these associations, monozygotic …

Design: A longitudinal population-based twin study. Subjects: Sixteen middle-aged (50–74
years) same-sex twin pairs (seven monozygotic (MZ), nine dizygotic (DZ)) with long-term …

Bones adapt to prevalent loading, which comprises mainly forces caused by muscle
contractions. Therefore, we hypothesized that similar associations would be observed …

The relationship between bone mass and muscle mass may be due to the site-specific
effects of loading on bone in adults and to lifestyle, nutritional, and hormonal factors. Another …

High physical activity/aerobic fitness predicts low morbidity and mortality. Our aim was to
identify the most up-regulated gene sets related to long-term physical activity vs. inactivity in …

Growth is the opportune time to modify bone accrual. While bone adaptation is known to be
dependent on local loading and consequent deformations (strain) of bone, little is known …

Background To determine the prevalence and severity of bone deficits in a cohort of
childhood cancer survivors (CCS) compared to a healthy sibling control group, and the …

Purpose This study was undertaken to examine bone properties in masters sprinters of
different ages and younger reference subjects. In addition, the association of sport-specific …
