Graduation date: 2000Introduction: Recent reports in exercise related bone research have shown increased bone mineral content (BMC) at the femoral neck for prepubescent children participating in exercise programs consisting of repeated drop landings from a height of 61 cm. Increases in BMC from this type of exercise are believed to be the result of both high rate and magnitude of loading at the proximal femur. However, the dynamic characteristics associated with these landings in children have not been studied. Purpose: To describe the dynamic characteristics of children during landing and to quantify the forces associated with an activity associated with increases in bone mass. Methods: 13 prepubescent children (males=8, females=5, age 9.3...
