Changes in Distal Tibial Microarchitecture During Eight Weeks of U.S. Army Basic Combat Training Differ by Sex and Race

JBMR Plus, 2023
Basic combat training (BCT) is a physically rigorous period at the beginning of a soldier's career that induces bone formation in the tibia. Race and sex are determinants of bone properties in young adults but their influences on changes in bone ...

Exercise for optimizing bone health after hormone-induced increases in bone stiffness

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Hormones and mechanical loading co-regulate bone throughout the lifespan. In this review, we posit that times of increased hormonal influence on bone provide opportunities for exercise to optimize bone strength and prevent fragility.

Growth Hormone and Insulin-like Growth Factor-I Molecular Weight Isoform Responses to Resistance Exercise Are Sex-Dependent

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Purpose: To determine if acute resistance exercise-induced increases in growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) were differentially responsive for one or more molecular weight (MW) isoforms and if these responses were sex-dependent ...
