Description

In the present study，we measured bone mineral density and related items for female collegiate track and field athletes，female collegiate rhythmic gymnasts，and female college students with no exercise habits in order to elucidate the effects of exercise on bone mineral density. The results showed that athletes competing in sprints，throwing events，and rhythmic gymnastics had a significantly higher overall bone mineral density compared to general students，but no significant differences were observed for athletes competing in middle and long distance events. However，for the bone mineral density of both legs，significant differences compared to general students were observed for athletes competing in middle and long distance events as well as sprints， throwing events， and rhythmic gymnastics. These findings indicate that parts other than the legs must also be included in the assessment of bone mineral density in young subjects.
