Role of muscle mass on sprint performance: gender differences?
Jorge Pérez-Gómez,German Vicente Rodriguez,Ignacio Ara,Hugo Olmedillas,J. Chavarren,Juan Jose Gonzalez-Henriquez,Cecilia Dorado,Jose A. L. Calbet +7 more
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.
Germán Vicente-Rodríguez,Ignacio Ara,Jorge Pérez-Gómez,Jose A. Serrano-Sanchez,Cecilia Dorado,Jose A. L. Calbet +5 more
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.
Ignacio Ara,Germán Vicente-Rodríguez,Jorge Pérez-Gómez,J Jimenez-Ramirez,Jose A. Serrano-Sanchez,Cecilia Dorado,Jose A. L. Calbet +6 more
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
Germán Vicente-Rodríguez,Cecilia Dorado,Jorge Pérez-Gómez,Juan Jose Gonzalez-Henriquez,Jose A. L. Calbet +4 more
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.
