Vascular adaptation in athletes: is there an ‘athlete's artery’? [PDF]

Experimental Physiology, 2012
Whilst the existence of a specific phenotype characterized as ‘athlete's heart’ is generally acknowledged, the question of whether athletes exhibit characteristic vascular adaptations has not been specifically addressed. To do so in this symposium, studies which have assessed the size, wall thickness and function of elastic, large muscular and smaller ...

Bone accrual in oligo-amenorrheic athletes, eumenorrheic athletes and non-athletes [PDF]

Bone, 2019
Mechanical loading improves bone mineral density (BMD) and strength while decreasing fracture risk. Cross-sectional studies show that exercise advantage is lost in oligo-amenorrheic athletes (OA). Longitudinal studies examining the opposing effects of exercise and hypogonadism on bone are lacking in adolescents/young adults.Evaluate differences in bone
