Influence of physical activity on ultrasound and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry bone measurements in peripubertal girls: a cross-sectional study

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate whether two types of physical exercise affect the growing skeleton differently. We used calcaneal quantitative ultrasound measurements (QUS) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for measurement of bone mineral density (BMD), and to test...
