Changes in bone mineral content with decreased training in competitive young adult tennis players and controls: a prospective 4-yr follow-up

Article Abstract:

Competitive tennis players maintain high bone mineral content (BMC) for years. A study of 13 ranked tennis players and 13 controls suggests that bone gains are not lost in the playing arm even after retirement from competition. Researchers compared BMC in both arms to measurements taken four years after the initial assessment and found no BMC decrease among players. Regular exercise can prevent osteoporosis and subsequent falls.

Dose-response relationship of specific training to reduce chronic neck pain and disability

Article Abstract:

The dose-response relationship of specific strength- and endurance-training regimes for the cervical muscles, which were shown to be effective among women with chronic neck pain and disability, is examined. It is shown that the described specific exercise protocols were associated with decreases in chronic neck pain and disability and the effective dose of training was feasible and safe to perform among female office workers.

Dose response between total volume of physical activity and health and fitness

Article Abstract:

This article investigates the relationship between weekly volumes of physical activity, physical fitness, and health outcomes. Findings indicate that there is a modest dose response relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and weekly activity levels, but only a weak relationship between activity levels and health indicators.
