Physical activity in youth with osteogenesis imperfecta type I.
INTRODUCTION: Individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) type I often show muscular weakness. However, it is unclear whether muscula...
Re-examining the surfaces of bone in boys and girls during adolescent growth: a 12-year mixed longitudinal pQCT study.
We revisit Stanley Garn's theory related to sex differences in endocortical and periosteal apposition during adolescence using a 12-yea...
Whole-body vibration and blood flow and muscle oxygenation: a meta-analysis.
CONTEXT: The use and popularity of whole-body vibration (WBV) has increased in recent years, but there is a lack of consensus in the li...
Effects of whole body vibration on pulmonary function, functional exercise capacity and quality of life in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A systematic review.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of whole-body vibration in enhancing pulmonary function, functional exercise capacity and quality of l...
Minimal intensity physical activity (standing and walking) of longer duration improves insulin action and plasma lipids more than shorter periods of moderate to vigorous exercise (cycling) in sedentary subjects when energy expenditure is comparable.
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies suggest that excessive sitting time is associated with increased health risk, independent of the pe...
Muscle force regulates bone shaping for optimal load-bearing capacity during embryogenesis.
The vertebrate skeleton consists of over 200 individual bones, each with its own unique shape, size and function. We study the role of...
Effects of five days of bed rest with intermittent centrifugation on neurovestibular function.
OBJECTIVES: We tested whether intermittent short-radius centrifugation was effective for mitigating alteration in balance and gait foll...
Lower-extremity muscle atrophy and fat infiltration after chronic spinal cord injury.
BACKGROUND: Atrophy and fatty-infiltration of lower-extremity muscle after spinal cord injury (SCI) predisposes individuals to metaboli...
Measurement of muscle and fat in postmenopausal women: precision of previously reported pQCT imaging methods.
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) imaging has been used to quantify muscle area and density as well as intermuscular a...
Pregnant growth restricted female rats have bone gains during late gestation which contributes to second generation adolescent and adult offspring having normal bone health.
Low birth weight, due to uteroplacental insufficiency, results in programmed bone deficits in the first generation (F1). These deficits...
