Bayan elit hentbol oyuncularında ve sedanterlerde kemik mineral yoğunlukları

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to assess bone mineral densities (BMD) in female athletes and sedanteries. Regional bone mineral densities were measured by a bone densitometer using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). It was found that there was significant differences in bone mineral density values of the lumbar spine and the right femoral regions between athletes and sedanteries (P˂0.01). As result; it can be said that the young women who participate in sports exhibit the great associated gains in bone health.
