Forearm Loading (FAL) Study: A Recreational Gymnastics Intervention within a Physical Education Setting
Introduction: Accruing bone during childhood and adolescence is paramount to reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life. Children who participate in recreational gymnastics during young childhood have been found to have better bone parameters than children participating in other sports. …

Cancellous bone use in the estimation of sex in a South African cadaveric and forensic sample
… of the study is to assess radiographic and dry bone measurements of the proximal femur for sex estimation in a South African population. This was done by assessing radiographic and dry bone parameters (e.g., traditional morphometric parameters and assessment of cancellous area and indirect …

Automated platform for histological race and sex comparison of human cortical bone
Research on histological bone variation in population is in its early stages in Malaysia and limited information is available about age graded race and sex comparison. This research performed race and sex comparison of histological cortical bone parameters in the Malaysian population and presented …

Bone Properties of Recombinant Inbred Line - BXD Mouse
<p>Osteoporosis is identified by reduced bone mass, decreased bone quality and altered bone micro-architecture. These traits are quantitative and also highly regulated by genetic and environmental factors. As a powerful tool for collaborative analysis of quantitative traits and gene function, BXD …

MRI Quantification of Cortical Bone Microstructure and Material Composition with Ultrashort Echo Time Sequences
Quantitative imaging assessment of cortical bone structure and material composition provides additional information about bone health beyond conventional radiographic assessment of bone mineral density (BMD). Large prospective studies have found that cortical bone imaging biomarkers are associated …

The Impact Of Dietary Phytase Supplementation On Skeletal Biomechanics And Characteristics In Growing Swine And Mice
The misconception that bone is a static tissue underestimates its importance in human and animal health, as well as the many factors that influence its development and maintenance. Genetic, hormonal, mechanical and nutritional factors all influence bone strength and mass, particularly in early …

Physical activity and its effect on bone in the short- and long- term perspective.
… thought to be an opportune time to build strong bones and the enhancement of peak bone mass (PBM) has been suggested as a prevention strategy for osteoporosis. Most exercise intervention studies in children, evaluating the accrual of areal bone mineral density (aBMD), include volunteers and use …
