Journal ArticleDOI

Role of muscle mass on sprint performance: gender differences?

TL;DR: Although, the peak power generating capability of the muscle is similar in males and females, muscle mass only partially explains the gender difference in running sprints, even when expressed as a percentage of the whole body mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

High femoral bone mineral density accretion in prepubertal soccer players.

TL;DR: Long-term soccer participation, starting at a prepubertal age, results in greater improvement of physical fitness, greater acquisition of bone mass and a lower accumulation of body fat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of extracurricular sport activities on body composition and physical fitness in boys: a 3-year longitudinal study.

TL;DR: Without any dietary intervention, children who regularly participate in at least 3 h per week of sports activities are more protected against total and regional fat mass accumulation and increase their total lean and bone mass to a greater extent than children who do not participate in extracurricular sport activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscular development and physical activity as major determinants of femoral bone mass acquisition during growth

TL;DR: Long term sports participation during early adolescence results in greater accrual of bone mass, however, for a given muscle mass, a greater level of physical activity is associated with greater bone mass and density in peripubertal boys.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced bone mass and physical fitness in young female handball players

TL;DR: Handball participation is associated with improved physical fitness, increased lean and bone masses, and enhanced axial and appendicular BMD in young girls, and the combination of anthropometric and fitness-related variables may be used to detect girls with potentially reduced bone mass.
