Abstract: | Aims – Intensive exercise is known to improve the bone mass acquisition. One of the main explanations consists in the mechanical strains exerted on the skeleton. Little is known about the effects of physical exercise on the bone remodelling process.Methods and results – The bone remodelling rate evaluated in a group of young female (24 gymnasts and 21 controls), using a bone resorption marker, the CrossLaps peptides CTx. We measured in our subjects the bone mineral density at the whole body and at six regional sites. The bone density was statistically higher in the gymnasts compared to the controls at all the specific sites. The CTx level corrected by urinary creatinine was significantly higher in the gymnasts, reflecting a faster bone remodelling rate.Conclusion – Intensive physical activity could improve the bone mineral acquisition probably by a stimulation of the bone remodelling activity. |
