Regional changes in indices of bone strength of upper and lower limbs in response to high-intensity impact loading or high-intensity resistance training
Abstract It is well known that the bone response to physical activity is highly dependent on the nature of the loads imposed. Despite this, few direct comparisons of the effect of impact-style loading and resistance training on bone have been made. We therefore aimed to compare the effects of 10-month, twice-weekly, high-impact loading and 10-month, twice-weekly, high-intensity resistance ...
