Figure 3

Ratios of BMC/FFM and fall strength are depicted as means with 95% confidence intervals for gymnasts (Gym) and non-gymnasts (Non-Gym), separated by Tanner stage and bone site: a) BMC/FFM; b) Z fall strength and IBS fall strength.

BMC= bone mineral content; FFM= DXA-measured fat-free mass;

Z Fall Strength = section modulus/(forearm length × weight);

IBS Fall Strength= index of structural strength in axial compression/(forearm length × weight);

* denotes Gym > Non-Gym, ANOVA p<0.05.
