Sub-regional tissue morphometry in male athletes and controls using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)

Article Abstract:

This study uses dual X-ray absorptiometry to analyze and compare the body compositions of male athletes from different sports. No significant differences were found between groups for fat distribution, but bone mineral content and lean tissue distribution demonstrated specific adaptions to the physical demands of different sports.

Total and regional bone density in male runners, cyclists and controls

Article Abstract:

Running has been found to be associated with greater bone density, especially in the leg, but cycling is associated with a mild decrease in bone density in the spine. In athletes who do both, running has more influence than cycling. Total and regional bone density has been studied in male runners, cyclists and controls.

Modeling maximum oxygen uptake of elite endurance athletes

Article Abstract:

Results reveal no differences in the peak oxygen consumption between pure endurance sports. Data show a disproportionate increase in both calf and thigh leg muscles and in oxygen consumption. Furthermore, the peak oxygen consumtion of badminton and squash is lower than other pure endurance sports.
