Risks and benefits of hypo/hyperkinetic loading of human musculoskeletal system and its genetic predispositions - Rhythmic gymnastic
2012
Abstract
Many studies show that the higher up the high intensity and volume of training load has a positive effect on e.g. bone adaptation especially for children and adolescents. Skeletal response to load is dependent on many different factors related to mechanical loading (training) as well as factors that relate directly to the athlete himself, such as nutritional and hormonal factors and especially age when the training interventions started.
Besides the influence of load on bone adaptation, our initial review study will be based on potential genetic factors involved in the quality of the bone system, namely the density of bone (BMD), bone structure and ability of mineralization.
