Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of physical training on bone mineral density in prepubertal girls: a comparative study between impact-loading and non-impact-loading sports.

TL;DR: It is concluded that physical activity in childhood could be an important factor in bone mineral acquisition in prepubertal girls, but only if the sport can induce bone strains during a long-term program: gymnastics has such characteristics, unlike swimming.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone mineral density in prepubertal obese and control children: relation to body weight, lean mass, and fat mass.

TL;DR: It was observed that, in obese children, cortical and trabecular bone displayed different adaptation patterns to their higher body weight and these skeletal responses were not sufficient to compensate for the excess load on the whole body.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone geometry in response to long-term tennis playing and its relationship with muscle volume: A quantitative magnetic resonance imaging study in tennis players

TL;DR: This study showed that the greater BMC induced by long-term tennis playing at the dominant radius was associated to a marked increase in bone size and a slight improvement in volumetric BMD, thereby improving bone strength.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective effect of β blockers in postmenopausal women: Influence on fractures, bone density, micro and macroarchitecture

TL;DR: The data suggest that the association of current use of beta blockers with low fracture risk is mediated, at least in part, by effects on BMD, cortical bone geometry and trabecular bone microarchitectural organization.
