Effect of strength training and the practice of Alpine skiing on bone mass density, growth, body composition, and the strength and power of the legs of adolescent skiers.

This work examines the influence of practicing strength training and Alpine skiing over 2 years on bone mineral density (BMD), growth, body composition, and the strength and power of the legs of adolescent skiers. The study subjects were 20 adolescent skiers (10 girls and 10 boys) and 19 sedentary adolescents (9 girls and 10 boys), all 13-16 years of age. The BMDs of the lumbar column (L2-L4) and hip (neck of the femur, trochanter, and Ward's triangle) were determined by dual x-ray photon absorptiometry at the beginning and end of the experimental period.
