Body Composition in Karate: A Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Study
Karate is a widely practiced combat sport. Karatekas’ body composition has typically been obtained in small groups using skinfolds or bioelectric impedance. In this work, we assessed three-compartment body composition using the accurate dual-energy X-ray

Relationship between Femur Mineral Content and Local Muscle Strength and Mass
Among the stimuli able to prevent early decreases in bone mineralization, exercise has a noticeable role per se as the source of mechanical stimulus or through lean tissue enlargement by its increasing of tensional stimulus.

Pediatric dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry: interpretation and clinical and research application [PDF]
Peak bone mass is established predominately during childhood and adolescence. It is an important determinant of future resistance to osteoporosis and fractures to gain bone mass during growth. The issue of low bone density in children and adolescents has

Computed digital absorptiometry of the hand: screening method of bone loss in postmenopausal women with RA. [PDF]
Dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the most commonly used method of measuring bone mineral density (BMD); it has been shown to be a good predictor of the future risk of fracture.1Unfortunately, the generalised use of DXA is limited as it is ...
