Skeletal Muscle and Mortality Results From the InCHIANTI Study
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, may not be an isolated process but is associated with an increase in fat m...
Distal Radius Strength: A Comparison of DXA-Derived vs pQCT-Measured Parameters in Adolescent Females
Although quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is considered the gold standard for in vivo densitometry, dual-energy X-ray absorptiome...
Well-nourished cystic fibrosis patients have normal mineral density, but reduced cortical thickness at the forearm

Ankle Flexors Produce Peak Torque at Longer Muscle Lengths after Whole-Body Vibration
INTRODUCTION:: Whole-body vibration (WBV) has become a popular training method in recent years. This study investigated the effect of W...
The effects of acute whole body vibration as a recovery modality following high-intensity interval training in well-trained, middle-aged runners
The main purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of acute whole body vibration (WBV) on recovery following a 3 km time ...
Whole-body vibration dosage alters leg blood flow
The effect of whole-body vibration dosage on leg blood flow was investigated. Nine healthy young adult males completed a set of 14 rand...
An in vivo rabbit model for cartilage trauma: a preliminary study of the influence of impact stress magnitude on chondrocyte death and matrix damage
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to evaluate the postimpact response of the articular cartilage in the rabbit knee after a single tra...
