Jumping improves lower limbs bone mass and lean mass in elite jumpers

The present study was designed to examine the influence of extreme impact loading induced by jump training on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in high level jumpers. Forty boys volunteered for the study aged 20 to 21 years. They were 22 high level jumpers and 18 controls. Bo...

Zusammenfassung:	The present study was designed to examine the influence of extreme impact loading induced by jump training on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in high level jumpers. Forty boys volunteered for the study aged 20 to 21 years. They were 22 high level jumpers and 18 controls. Bone mass and body composition measurements were performed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, in the total body and at different sites. The results showed that BMC, BMD, bone area, and lean mass (P
