Oligo-amenorrheic long-distance runners may lose more bone in spine than femur

Article Abstract:

This article examines the relationship between menstrual status and bone mineral density in female long-distance runners with adequate nutrition. Results indicate that amenorrhea resulting from strenuous training is associated with accelerated bone loss with particularly adverse effects in axial skeletal regions such as the lumbar spine.

Physical activity and fat-free and fat mass by bioelectrical impedance in 3853 adults

Article Abstract:

This article discusses the effects of regular exercise on body composition using bioelectrical impedance analysis among a population of healthy Caucasian subjects aged 15 to 64. Results show that maintenance or prevention of increased body mass index and subsequent prevention of fat mass increase are benefits of physical activity.
