Physical activity appears to be a strong determinant of the building of peak bone mass and the degree of bone mineralization in young adult males. This study aimed to describe the impact of volleyball (V), throwing athletes (TA), climbing (CL), snowboarding participation (SN), fracture history, hand grip strength (HGS), and body composition on forearm bone mineral density (BMD) in males. BMD, bone mass content (BMC), and T-score of the distal (dis) and proximal (prox) parts of the forearm were measured by the DXA technique. The CL and TA groups showed the highest BMD, BMC, and T-score dis and prox. In the TA group, a higher prevalence of normal BMD was found in the distal part of the forearm compared to V (by 6.7%), CL (by 15.4%), and SN (by 35.7%). In the CL group a higher prevalence of normal BMD was found in the proximal part of the forearm compared to V (by 12.4%), TA (by 6.8%), and SN (by 34.6%). The highest prevalence of low bone density was observed in the SN group. Covariance analysis revealed that body height and the type of sports competition significantly affected BMD in the distal region (adj. R = 0.77). For BMD in the proximal region, the significant factor was sports competition (adj. R = 0.73). In both the distal and proximal regions of the BMC, the significant factors were handgrip strength (HGS) in newtons (N) and the type of sports competition (distal adj. R = 0.60; proximal adj. R = 0.85). Similar results were obtained for the T-score dis. The T-score prox was significantly affected only by HGS (N) (adj. R = 0.59). Training based on throwing and weight-bearing exercises influences higher forearm BMD. The results of the study also highlight the important role of information about past fractures, which may serve as an initial indicator of risk groups for low bone density.
体育活动似乎是年轻成年男性峰值骨量形成和骨矿化程度的一个重要决定因素。本研究旨在描述排球(V)、投掷运动员(TA)、攀岩(CL)、单板滑雪参与情况(SN)、骨折史、握力(HGS)和身体成分对男性前臂骨密度(BMD)的影响。采用双能X线吸收法(DXA)技术测量前臂远端(dis)和近端(prox)的骨密度、骨量(BMC)和T值。CL组和TA组的BMD、BMC以及远端和近端的T值最高。在TA组中,与排球组(高6.7%)、攀岩组(高15.4%)和单板滑雪组(高35.7%)相比,前臂远端骨密度正常的患病率更高。在CL组中,与排球组(高12.4%)、投掷运动员组(高6.8%)和单板滑雪组(高34.6%)相比,前臂近端骨密度正常的患病率更高。单板滑雪组的低骨密度患病率最高。协方差分析显示,身高和体育竞赛类型对远端区域的骨密度有显著影响(调整后R = 0.77)。对于近端区域的骨密度,显著因素是体育竞赛(调整后R = 0.73)。在BMC的远端和近端区域,显著因素都是以牛顿(N)为单位的握力(HGS)和体育竞赛类型(远端调整后R = 0.60;近端调整后R = 0.85)。远端T值也得到了类似结果。近端T值仅受握力(N)显著影响(调整后R = 0.59)。基于投掷和负重练习的训练会影响更高的前臂骨密度。研究结果还突出了既往骨折信息的重要作用,其可作为低骨密度风险人群的初始指标。
