Bone mineral density in male weight-classified athletes is higher than that in male endurance-athletes and non-athletes.

摘要: Summary Background Weight-bearing physical activity and intense mechanical stimuli affect the bone through endocrine system; hence, bone-loading sports mineral density. We hypothesized that weight-classified athletes, such as those practicing wrestling judo, have relatively high density because these activities a higher impact on entire body during daily training compared to low- or non-impact activities. aimed investigate of athletes (participating in judo) compare parameters with endurance-athletes non-athletes. Methods Thirty-three college (aged 18–22 years) were divided into three groups, wrestlers, judoka, endurance-athletes, according their history. Eight non-athletes participated controls. Bone was determined by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results Mean wrestlers judoka than (P  Conclusions The present study demonstrated significantly endurance- non-athletes, despite rapid weight loss before competitions.
