Dear Netters,
I would like to interest you in joining our clinical research program
for a newly developed technology that enables the measurement of bone
strength of infants, children & adolescents. Program's goal is to assess
the effect of physical activity on bone strength.
Studies have shown peak bone mass to be reached at the end of the third
decade or the beginning of the forth decade of life. Physical exercise has
been
demonstrated to enhance peak bone mass, thus reducing the risk of
osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures later in life.
Initial clinical results show that volleyball training of 2.5 yrs or longer
appears
to affect bone properties of the dominant arm but not those of the dominant
leg,
Likely reflecting the larger impact-loading asymmetry in the former.
In addition, initial results show that basketball training can enhance bone
strength,
as well as the recommendation for participation in high-impact physical
activity
during growth and early adulthood.
If this sounds interesting to you, please reply to: [log in to unmask]
