Bone mineral density of Olympic-level female winter sport athletes
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to compare areal bone mineral density (aBMD) of female winter sport athletes to healthy controls of similar age and body mass index (BMI). Results showed that female winter sport athletes have greater aBMD compared with controls of similar BMI. Most aBMD differences remained significant after adjusting for lean tissue mass, and athletes with a history of oligo-and/or amenorrhea had similar aBMD than their eumenorrheic counterparts.

A treadmill ramp protocol using simultneous changes in speed and grade
Article Abstract:
This article describes a treadmill exercise protocol for clinical-diagnostic use on the cycle ergometer in which a ramp-wise increase in work rate is incorporated. The slow walking inclination of treadmill, which is equivalent to a metabolic rate comparable to that of "unloaded" cycle ergometry, is gradually increased to give a linear increase in work rate.
