Hip and spine bone mineral density are greater in master sprinters, but not endurance runners compared with non-athletic controls

Hip and spine bone mineral density are greater in master sprinters, but not endurance runners compared with non-athletic controls

Summary: We examined bone density in older athletes and controls. Sprinters had greater hip and spine bone density than endurance athletes and controls, whereas values were similar in the latter two groups. These results could not be explained by differences in impact, muscle size or power between s...
