Anterior-posterior bending strength at the tibial shaft increases with physical activity in boys: evidence for non-uniform geometric adaptation
We investigated bone structural adaptations to a 16-month school-based physical activity intervention in 202 young boys using a novel a...
Energy metabolism in human calf muscle performing isometric plantar flexion superimposed by 20-Hz vibration
Vibration training is commonly expected to induce an active muscle contraction via a complex reflex mechanism. In calf muscles of 20 un...
Skeletal effects of estrogen and mechanical loading are structurally distinct
Estrogen has been suggested to influence skeletal homeostasis by both increasing the sensitivity of the feedback control system for ske...
