This study examined the effect of recreational football and resistance training on bone mineral density ( BMD ) turnover markers BTMs in elderly men. Twenty‐six healthy sedentary men (age 68.2 ± 3.2 years) were randomized into three groups: F ; n = 9) R 9), completing 45–60 min two to times weekly, inactive controls C 8). Before, after 4 months, 12 proximal femur PF whole body WB determined together with plasma osteocalcin OC ), procollagen type‐1 amino‐terminal propeptide P1NP...
The present intervention was designed to investigate whether a 14-week period of regular recreational association football (F) or endurance running (R) has an effect on the risk falls and bone fractures due gains in muscle function volumetric mineral density (vBMD). Fifty healthy untrained Danish premenopausal women were randomized into two training groups (F R) that trained 1.8+/-0.3 (+/-SD) 1.9+/-0.3 h/week, respectively, these compared with inactive control group (C). Jumping dynamic...
We examined long‐term musculoskeletal and cardiac adaptations elicited by recreational football (FG, n =9) running (RG, =10) in untrained premenopausal women comparison with a control group (CG, =9). Training was performed for 16 months (∼2 weekly 1‐h sessions). For FG, right left ventricular end‐diastolic diameters were increased 24% 5% ( P <0.05), respectively, after months. Right systolic function measured tricuspid annular plane excursion (TAPSE) <0.05) FG 4 further (15% 32%,...
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains a cornerstone in the management of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) despite adverse effects on body composition and functional parameters. We compared football training standard care PCa managed ADT (> 6 months). Fifty-seven men aged 67 (range: 43-74) were randomly assigned to group (FG, n = 29) or usual control (CON, 28). The primary outcome was change lean mass (LBM) assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning. Secondary outcomes...
Objectives We investigated whether musculoskeletal fitness of school children aged 8–10 years was affected by frequent intense PE sessions. Design and participants 295 Danish were cluster randomised to a small-sided ball game group (SSG) (n=96, four schools, five classes), circuit strength training (CST) (n=83, classes) or control (CON, n=116, two classes). Intervention SSG CST performed 3×40 min/week over 10 months. Whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans used determine...
The present study evaluated the effects of regular participation in small-sided team handball training on body composition, osteogenic response, physical performance, and cardiovascular risk factors, as well well-being motivation, young untrained women.Twenty-eight 20- to 30-year-old women were randomized a group (HG; n = 14, height 170 ± 5 cm, weight 73 11 kg, VO2peak 37.7 4.1 mL/min/kg) that trained 1.7 0.3 times per week over 12 weeks (70 min 4 v sessions) or an inactive control (CG; 169...
Abstract We investigated the musculoskeletal health profile of elite female football players (ET) in comparison to untrained (UT) young women subjected 16 weeks training (2 × 1 h per week). DXA scans, blood sampling, sprint testing and Flamingo postural balance were carried out for 27 Danish national team 28 women, with eight being tested after training. At baseline total BMD BMC 13% (1.305 ± 0.050 versus 1.159 0.056 g · cm−2) 23% (3047 235 2477 526 g) higher (P <0.001) leg 24 28% <0.01) ET...

Purpose The aim this study was to investigate BMD Danish gymnasts the relationships maximal strength, hormone concentrations, menstrual status. Methods Six artistic gymnasts, five rhythmic six controls aged 15–20 yr served as subjects. (g·cm−2) lumbar spine, proximal femur, distal radius, whole body were measured by...
The purpose of the present controlled cross-sectional study was to investigate proximal femur and whole-body bone mineral density (BMD), as well turnover profile, in lifelong trained elderly male football players young elite compared with untrained age-matched men.One hundred forty healthy, non-smoking men participated study, including (FTE, n = 35) aged 65-80 years, (FTY, 18-30 (UE, (UY, men. All participants underwent a regional dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan DXA determine...
This case‐control study investigated the feasibility of street football as a health‐enhancing activity for homeless men, specifically musculoskeletal effects 12 weeks training. Twenty‐two men participated in group ( FG ) and 10 served controls C ). P lasma osteocalcin, TRACP 5b, leptin, postural balance were measured, whole‐body DXA scanning was performed. The attendance rate 75% (2.2 ± 0.7 sessions per week). During 60 min training, total distance covered 5534 610 m, with 1040 353, 2744...
We investigated the exercise intensity and fitness effects of frequent school-based low-volume high-intensity training for 10 months in 8-10-year-old children. 239 Danish 3rd-grade school children from four schools were cluster-randomised into a control group (CON, n = 116) or two groups performing either 5 × 12 min/wk small-sided football plus other ball games (SSG, 62) interval running (IR, 61). Whole-body DXA scans, flamingo balance, standing long-jump, 20 m sprint, Yo-Yo IR1 children's...
The effects of football training on bone health were examined in 55‐ to 70‐year‐old sedentary women and men with prediabetes. Patients (n = 50) prediabetes (age; 61 ± 9 years, BMI 29.7 0.6 kg/m 2 , body fat content; 37 1%, VO 2max ; 22.7 0.8 mL/min/kg mean arterial pressure; 104 3 mm Hg) randomized into a group ( FTG n 27, 14 women) control CON 23, 11 women). At baseline, 73% 24% diagnosed femur osteopenia osteoporosis, respectively. performed twice weekly 30‐60‐minute sessions 16 weeks,...
This study investigated the association between long‐term adherence to football training and retaining bone mineralization physical capacity in men with prostate cancer (PCa) managed androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Patients completing follow‐up at 32 weeks FC Prostate Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) 2012 or 2013 were invited 5‐year assessments May 2017 (n = 30).

The aim of the study was to examine acute response biochemical bone turnover markers (BTM) high-impact jumping exercise, and quantify ground reaction forces (GRF) achieved during each in postmenopausal women. In a randomized controlled cross-over over three days, 29 women (age (mean±SD): 60.0±5.6 years) were randomly assigned 6 x 10 repetitions different jumps: countermovement jump (CMJ), drop (DJ), diagonal (DDJ). A fourth day without served as control (CON). Blood samples collected before...
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a cornerstone in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Adverse musculoskeletal and cardiovascular effects ADT are widely reported investigations into potential exercise to ameliorate warranted.
