Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sports activity on tibial bone strength in junior high school students. Tibial bone strength was evaluated by the speed of sound of tibia (t-SOS) using the Sound Scan 2000®. Thirty Male athletes, who participated in sports activities approximately 18 hours/week, were enrolled in this study. They were compared with 45 sedentary boys. t-SOS in athletes (3707 +/- 67m/sec) was significantly lower than that in sedentary boys (3779 +/- 114m/sec). Length of tibia in athletes (40.2 +/- 2.1cm) was significantly longer than that in sedentary boys (38.5 +/- 2.3cm). The value of t-SOS demonstrated a positive correlation with calcium intake from dairy products in athletes. These data suggest that sports activity and physique may affect tibial bone strength, and calcium intake may help to enhance tibial bone strength. Verf.-Referat
