Acceleration slope of exercise-induced impacts is a determinant of changes in bone density

High acceleration levels (>4 g) seen during impact exercises have been shown to increase bone mineral density (BMD) in premenopausal women. The aim of this study was to examine how the other acceleration signal characteristics, i.e. the slope, area and energy of the signal are related to changes...
