Journal ArticleDOI
Early physical activity provides sustained bone health benefits later in childhood.
Kathleen F. Janz,Elena M. Letuchy,Julie M. Eichenberger Gilmore,Trudy L. Burns,James C. Torner,Marcia C. Willing,Steven M. Levy +6 more
TL;DR: Support is provided for the benefits of early MVPA on sustained bone health during childhood especially for boys and the importance of increasing MVPA as a strategy to improve BMC later in childhood is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained effect of early physical activity on body fat mass in older children.
Kathleen F. Janz,Soyang Kwon,Elena M. Letuchy,Julie M. Eichenberger Gilmore,Trudy L. Burns,James C. Torner,Marcia C. Willing,Steven M. Levy +7 more
TL;DR: Some effects of early-childhood MVPA on fatness appear to persist throughout childhood, indicating the potential importance of increasing MVPA in young children as a strategy to reduce later fat gains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity and femoral neck bone strength during childhood: The Iowa Bone Development Study
Kathleen F. Janz,Julie M. Eichenberger Gilmore,Steven M. Levy,Elena M. Letuchy,Trudy L. Burns,Thomas J. Beck +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that everyday amounts of physical activity in children are associated with indices of FN bone strength during childhood, and that increasing levels ofPhysical activity during childhood are likely to enhance optimal bone strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental Trajectories of Physical Activity, Sports, and Television Viewing During Childhood to Young Adulthood: Iowa Bone Development Study
TL;DR: This study provided a nuanced look at the known decrease in MVPA during childhood and adolescence and identified a subset of participants who maintained a seemingly healthy level of MVPA from childhood to young adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Objectively measured physical activity trajectories predict adolescent bone strength: Iowa Bone Development Study
Kathleen F. Janz,Elena M. Letuchy,Trudy L. Burns,Julie M. Eichenberger Gilmore,James C. Torner,Steven M. Levy +5 more
TL;DR: Girls and boys who accumulated the most MVPA had greater bone mass and better geometry at 17 years when compared to less active peers when comparedTo discern if moderate-and-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) predicts bone strength.
