Journal ArticleDOI
A six-year longitudinal study of the relationship of physical activity to bone mineral accrual in growing children: the university of Saskatchewan bone mineral accrual study.
TL;DR: Two‐way analysis of covariance demonstrated significant physical activity and gender main effects (but no interaction) for PBMCV, for BMC accrued for 2 years around peak velocity, and for BMC at 1 year post‐PBMCV for the TB and femoral neck and for physical activity but not gender at the LS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring general levels of physical activity: preliminary evidence for the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children.
TL;DR: Preliminary support is provided for the PAQ-C as a cost efficient method of assessing general levels of children's physical activity during the school year and males were significantly more active than females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children
TL;DR: The PAQ-C was moderately related to an activity rating, the Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire, a Caltrac motion sensor, a 7-day physical activity recall interview, and a step test of fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone mineral accrual from 8 to 30 years of age: an estimation of peak bone mass.

TL;DR: Strong evidence is provided that BA plateaus 1 to 2 years earlier than BMC, substantiate the importance of the circumpubertal years for accruing bone mineral, and provides strong evidence that peak bone mass occurs by the end of the second or early in the third decade of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 'muscle-bone unit' during the pubertal growth spurt
Frank Rauch,Donald A. Bailey,Donald A. Bailey,Adam D.G. Baxter-Jones,Robert L. Mirwald,Robert A. Faulkner +5 more
TL;DR: Results are compatible with the view that bone development is driven by muscle development, although the data do not exclude the hypothesis that the two processes are independently determined by genetic mechanisms.
