ANALIZA PARAMETARA DENZITETA KOSTI KOD DECE

Abstract

It is well known that physical activity has an anabolic effect to bone tissue. In order to determine the influence of different types of physical activity to the bone mineral density we have examined a group of boys and girls. All of the subjects were in prepubertal age at the early stage of achieving individual maximum bone mass. Bone mineral parameters of left and right calcane us were examined by Saharabone sonometer (Hologic Inc., MA, USA). According to the results, we conclude that different types of physical activity have different influence on bone mineral density at prepubertal age. Physical activity at prepubertal age is very beneficial and should be supported.
