Bone mineral density in elite rowers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Subjects (n=125) were internationally competitive. Between 2011-2014 BMD was taken at the lumbar spine (L1-L4) and left femur, by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, Lunar Prodigy, GE Healthcare), using the same scanner, and a qualified technician. Ethics was approved by the Australian Institute of Sport Human Ethics committee. Subjects gave prior written informed consent. Descriptive statistics are reported as mean ± standard deviation (range), Z-score and T-score. Statistical analysis was performed using independent samples t-test, significance set at p<0.05.

متن کاملDifferent training patterns and bone mineral density of the femoral shaft in elite, female athletes.
The effects of sporting activity and of menstrual status on the bone mineral content of the femoral mid-shaft were investigated. The cohort consisted of 67 elite, female athletes comprising 21 runners, 36 rowers, and 10 dancers. Twenty five of these athletes were amenorrhoeic, 27 eumenorrhoeic, and 15 were taking the oral contraceptive. The bone mineral content was also measured in 13 eumenorrh...

متن کاملIntramuscular pressure, tissue oxygenation, and muscle fatigue of the multifidus during isometric extension in elite rowers with low back pain.
CONTEXT Chronic low back pain (LBP) has been reported with a high incidence in elite rowers. It results in less effective training, long interruptions in training, and a drop in performance. OBJECTIVE The authors hypothesized that exercise-induced LBP in rowers is caused by a chronic functional compartment syndrome (CFCS) of the multifidus muscle. DESIGN Controlled clinical trial. SETTING...
