Book excerpt: "Physical activity, adequate energy, calcium and vitamin D intake all influence bone mineral density (BMD) in young adult females. Unfortunately, it is common to see nutrition deficiencies in this population that may put them at risk for a variety of health issues including lower BMD. Purpose: To determine the influence of the type of sport on regional and total BMD and its association with dietary energy, vitamin D and calcium intake. Methods: Seventy-three female students from McGill University were evaluated (average age of 20.8 years old, height 167.4 cm, weight 62.3 kg, and BMI 22.4). Forty-four athletes of 4 different Varsity Teams: basketball (n=13), volleyball (n=11), figure skating (n = 13), and synchronized swimming (n=7); and 29 age-matched sedentary students took part in the investigation. Dietary intake, Vitamin D and Calcium intake were assessed using a 3-day Food Log and a FFQ (short version) then analysed with the Food ProcessorTM Software. Total Body (TB), lumbar spine (LS) (L1-L4) and femoral neck (FN) BMD were assessed by DXA scanning. A one-way ANOVA explored between-group differences. Linear Regression Analysis, Pearson Correlations and ANCOVA were used to explore the influence of energy, Vitamin D and Calcium intake on BMD. Results: A significant difference in BMD at all 3 sites was observed across sports (TB = F(4,72) = 10.2, p
