Reliability of Tibial Measurement with Mechanical Response Tissue Analysis
Mechanical response tissue analysis (MRTA) provides a noninvasive means of estimating the cross-sectional bending stiffness (EI) of long bones, and thus can serve as a predictor of bone strength. Estimates of bone bending stiffness are derived from the point impedance response of a long bone to low …

Reliability and Validity of Mechanical Response Tissue Analysis in Composite and Human Tibiae
… approaches to improving the reliability, of mechanical response tissue analysis (MRTA). Twenty composite tibiae underwent MRTA testing on three separate days to determine intra- and inter-day reliability of bending stiffness. The bones were then subjected to three-point bending tests to …

Mechanical Response Tissue Analysis: Inter- and Intra-trial Reliability in Assessing Bending Stiffness of the Human Tibia in College Aged Women
Mechanical Response Tissue Analysis (MRTA) is an emerging technology for assessing maximal bending stiffness (EI) of human long bones in vivo. The MRTA variable, EI, is the product of Young's modulus of elasticity (E) and cross-sectional moment of inertia (I). EI quantifies material and …

Effect of isokinetic resistance training on ulnar stiffness in young, college-aged women
… it does not take into account bone geometry. Mechanical Response Tissue Analysis is a method of non-invasively measuring the bending stiffness (EI) of bone which is determined by the product of Young's modulus of elasticity (E) and the areal cross sectional moment of inertia (I). The aim of …

Influence of Oral Contraceptives on Bone Adaptations to Isokinetic Strength Training in Young Women
… bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist. Current data suggest that at present time, 7.8 and 21.8 million women have osteoporosis and osteopenia respectively. The development of …

Short Term Time Course Skeletal Responses to High Intensity Physical Exercise
… trial was to investigate temporal skeletal responses to short-term high intensity physical activity. Twenty-eight normal active females [age: 20.7 +/- 2.1 yr (mean +/- SD)] were randomized into exercise (EX, n = 15) or control (CN, n = 13) groups. The exercise group trained 6 days/wk for 6 …
