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...
The impact of degenerative spinal changes on the correlation of peripheral and axial bone density
Results of bone density measurements by quantitative computed tomography of the peripheral skeleton (pQCT) were compared with those of ...
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...
Innovative Wege und Aufgaben in der Physiotherapie und Rehabilitation von bewegungsgestörten Kindern und Jugendlichen
Am Beispiel des Rehabilitationskonzeptes „Auf die Beine“ wird gezeigt wie die Integration von existierenden klassischen Therapieformen ...
Leisure physical activity and the risk of fracture in men
BACKGROUND: Data from previous studies are inconsistent, and it is therefore uncertain whether, to what extent, and at what level leisu...
The Response of Elderly Female fast Gait to Whole Body Vibration
Older adults walk more slowly than healthy young adults at fast and normal walking speeds. These age-associated changes in mobility imp...
Whole body vibration in cystic fibrosis – a pilot study
Introduction: In cystic fibrosis (CF), bone mass deficits as well as a lack of muscle mass and force have been described. The bone mass...
