Effects of plyometric jump training on bone mass in adolescent girls

Article Abstract:

This study investigates the effects of pylometrics on the bone mineral content in the lower extremities of adolescent girls. No significant differences were found immediately following nine months of training, but follow-up studies suggest that continuous training during adolescent growth may improve leg strength and peak bone mass.

Spine bone mineral density increases in experienced but not novice collegiate female rowers

Article Abstract:

Research shows that force magnitude influences osteogenesis as indicated by higher power output by experienced rowers producing higher force at the spine leading to spine bone mineral density gains as compared with novice rowers.

Lean body mass and leg power best predict bone mineral density in adolescent girls

Article Abstract:

Results demonstrate that maximum peak bone density and muscle mass development occur in adolescent girls in the growth phase and lean body mass, leg power are the best indicators of bone mineral content, bone mineral density of the whole body, lumbar spine, femoral shaft and hip.
