Effect of impact exercise and its intensity on bone geometry at weight-bearing tibia and femur

Physical activity is known to enhance the mechanical competence of bone. However, information about the optimal type of exercise is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of jumping exercise to changes in bone geometry. We carried out a 12-month population-based trial with 1...
