Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discordance in bone mass between young adult swimmers and soccer players may be a direct result of differences in bone loading patterns that influence bone mineralization during growth. Our aim was to evaluate whether sports participation (soccer and swimming) had an independent effect on bone mass accrual at the hip and lumbar spine in adolescent female athletes. We recruited boys and girls 10 to 14-years of age from Corvallis, Albany, Sweet Home, Salem, Eugene, and the greater Portland area. Bone mineral content (BMC, g) and bone mineral density (BMD, g/cm2) of the proximal left hip, spine, and whole body were assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (Hologic QDR 4500A; Hologic Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). We used ANCOVA and report that baseline BMC and BMD values of girl soccer players at the greater trochanter were significantly higher compared to controls and the swim group, and femoral neck BMC was significantly greater than the swimmers. At baseline, all boy groups were similar at the hip and spine. After 12-months, ANCOVA was also used to assess absolute change for BMC and BMD at the hip and spine. The girl soccer players had significantly more BMC and BMD at the greater trochanter as well as total hip BMD and lumbar spine BMC compared to the swimmers, but not the controls. The girl control group showed a significantly greater 12-month change for femoral neck and greater trochanter BMC than swimmers. Overall, the girl swimmers demonstrated a lower accumulation of bone mass during the 12-month study period. As for the boys, soccer players had a significantly higher 12-month change for femoral neck BMC than swimmers, but were similar at the spine. There were no differences between the boy control subjects and the swimmers for 12-month change values at the hip and spine. While preliminary and limited by the small sample size, our results indicate that after controlling for growth, soccer players gained significantly more BMC at the femoral neck than swimmers. Furthermore, exposing the young skeleton to impact loading exercise has site-specific benefits at the hip whereas prolonged training in a non-weight bearing environment may compromise skeletal acquisition.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bone is a dynamic, living tissue that can respond to mechanical stress, muscular activity, and strengthen over time. It is constantly broken down and rebuilt in a process known as remodeling. When slightly less bone is deposited than resorbed, it results in osteopenia and eventually osteoporosis, which predisposes the bone to fracture during minimal trauma. Osteoporosis is a condition of generalized skeletal fragility, or "weak bones". According to the Canadian Healthy Aging questionnaire in 2009, 19.2% of women reported being diagnosed with osteoporosis. With the rise of the aging population, the prevalence and cost of osteoporosis is sure to increase as well. The best method of preventing osteoporosis is building strong bones from a young age. Exercise can be used as a factor to build stronger bones at any age. Percussive activity has been shown to lead to increased bone mineral density (BMD), which explains why female athletes tend to have higher BMD than age-matched sedentary controls. This thesis presents a study comparing the BMD of female athletes in hockey and synchronized swimming to sedentary controls. 70 participants, 24 hockey players, 20 synchronized swimmers, and 26 sedentary controls participated in this study. Participants underwent three DXA scans (one total body and two regional scans) and answered a questionnaire about their menstrual history. BMD values were analyzed using ANCOVA controlling for age and weight. Predictors of BMD were also analyzed using step-wise regression. A significant difference in BMD at the level of the trochanter (F(2,65) = 5.47, p

Download or read book Osteoporosis written by Benjamin Z. Leder and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completely revised and updated, and utilizing the most current evidence and practice guidelines for the treatment of osteoporosis, this comprehensive third edition discusses the basic aspects of bone metabolism, the pathophysiology of osteoporosis, current diagnostic techniques and medical treatment strategies. Osteoporosis is a common disorder that is prevalent in over 20 million Americans over the age of 60. One and a half million osteoporotic fractures occur in the United States every year, including 300,000 hip fractures. Mortality rates after hip fracture approach 25%, with another 50% of patients experiencing a major decrease in their prior level of independence and quality of life. Despite the wide prevalence and severe consequences of osteoporosis, it remains a disorder that is severely under-diagnosed and treated. In this context, specialists and primary care physicians alike are having increasing difficulty keeping up with the rapid changes to the field and incorporating these advances to clinical care. In the years since the last edition of this book was published, the osteoporosis field has changed drastically. In addition to revising and updating existing chapters and removing a few that are no longer as relevant, new chapters discuss an advanced understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the disorder, the introduction of new diagnostic imaging techniques, a more nuanced appreciation of the risks and benefits of osteoporosis therapies, and the introduction of two new classes of osteoporosis medications. Following the format of the second edition, and including helpful key points at the opening of each chapter, this text will present a comprehensive overview of both the basic and clinical concepts relating to each topic, when appropriate. Chapter authors were chosen based on their high level of expertise and leadership in the field. Taken together, this text should thus be of great interest to physicians of multiple specialties, allied health professionals, as well as basic and clinical researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nutrition and Health Series of books have had great success because each volume has the consistent overriding mission of providing health professionals with texts that are essential because each includes (1) a synthesis of the state of the science; (2) timely, in-depth reviews by the leading researchers in their respective fields; (3) extensive, - to-date fully annotated reference lists; (4) a detailed index; (5) relevant tables and figures; (6) identification of paradigm shifts and the consequences; (7) virtually no overlap of information between chapters, but targeted, interchapter referrals; (8) suggestions of areas for future research; and (9) balanced, data-driven answers to patient/health prof- sionals’ questions that are based on the totality of evidence rather than the findings of any single study. The series volumes are not the outcome of a symposium. Rather, each editor has the potential to examine a chosen area with a broad perspective, both in subject matter as well as in the choice of chapter authors. The international perspective, especially with regard to public health initiatives, is emphasized where appropriate. The editors, whose trainings are both research- and practice-oriented, have the opportunity to develop a primary objective for their book; define the scope and focus, and then invite the leading authorities from around the world to be part of their initiative. The authors are encouraged to provide an overview of the field, discuss their own research, and relate the research findings to potential human health consequences.

Book excerpt: Interest in the relationships between body structure and function in physical activity has persisted for centuries. Body Composition: Health and Performance in Exercise and Sport advances understanding beyond simple descriptions of body physique and composition of athletes and fills gaps in our understanding of the important role of muscle, fat, and bone in facilitating physical performance and health in sports and physically demanding occupations. lt addresses basic, practical, and applied topics in body composition, performance, and health with comprehensive reviews organized in four logical parts: Body Composition Assessment; Physical Activity and Body Composition; Body Composition in Sports and Occupations; and Moderating Factors. This book integrates state-of-the-art knowledge by international experts in the field and produces an evidence-based practical guide for a balanced understanding of the role and use of body composition assessment in physical performance and health for youth and adults. It also provides a needed link between the practice of body composition assessment and its application by members of public health advisory committees that develop national guidelines for diet, physical activity, and health. This book is suitable for students and professionals in sports nutrition, exercise science, kinesiology, and athletic training. Sport administrators and policy-makers for international and national sport federations and organizations, and national intercollegiate and scholastic federations, would also benefit from this book.
