Strength indices of the proximal femur and shaft in prepubertal female gymnasts

Article Abstract:

Results reveal that female gymnasts with similar body size exhibit significantly higher bone mineral content, bone cross-sectional area, and section modulus at the narrow neck of the proximal femur and the shaft regions. The bone cross-sectional area and section modulus represent axial strength and bending strength, respectively.

Overuse injuries in youth sports: biomechanical considerations

Article Abstract:

Research describes overuse injuries in children and guidelines for their prevention in biochemical terms using biomechanics analyses. Data indicate that limb length, mass, and moment of inertia increase during growth along with muscle strength.

Statistical Data Included, Biomechanics, Overuse injuries, Repetition strain injury, Musculoskeletal system, Sports for children, Children's sports
