Long-Term Leisure Time Physical Activity and Properties of Bone: A Twin Study
Abstract Effects of physical activity on bone properties when controlled for genetic effects are not fully understood. We aimed to inve...
Bone mass and geometry of the tibia and the radius of master sprinters, middle and long distance runners, race-walkers and sedentary control participants: a pQCT study.
Mechanical loading is thought to be a determinant of bone mass and geometry. Both ground reaction forces and tibial strains increase wi...
Quantification of bone mineral density precision according to repositioning errors in peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) at the radius and tibia
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is increasingly being used to measure bone mineral density (BMD) in both research an...
Muscle indices do not fully account for enhanced upper extremity bone mass and strength in gymnasts
OBJECTIVES: Muscular forces are an important determinant of bone strength, but bone may also adapt to non-muscular loading. We tested t...
Whole body vibration: a new therapeutic approach to improve muscle function in cystic fibrosis
Disease progression in cystic fibrosis (CF) leads to muscle wasting and loss of muscle function. The aim of this prospective pilot stud...
Characteristics of fast voluntary and electrically evoked isometric knee extensions during 56 days of bed rest with and without exercise countermeasure
The contractile characteristics of fast voluntary and electrically evoked unilateral isometric knee extensions were followed in 16 heal...
Vertical jump performance after 90 days bed rest with and without flywheel resistive exercise, including a 180 days follow-up
Muscle atrophy and neuromuscular de-conditioning occur in response to space flight and bed-rest. In this study, we investigated the eff...
The effect of bed rest and an exercise countermeasure on leg venous function
This study was performed to assess the effect of resistive vibration exercise during bed rest deconditioning on venous vascular dimensi...
Sprint and endurance power and ageing: an analysis of master athletic world records
Human physical performance is notably reduced with ageing. Although the effects of ageing are often compounded by disuse, the study of ...
