Figure 4.
The effect of a jumping intervention on Δtotal hip bone mineral content (BMC) after 8 years showing percent change in total hip BMC from baseline in jumpers above that of controls. Data points are displayed after 7 mo of exercise training, 1 yr of detraining (19 mo), and 4–8 yr of detraining (43–91 mo). The intervention participants had 3.6% greater bone mass at the total hip than controls immediately after the intervention and 1.4% greater bone mass 8 yrs later. *Results are significant at each of the seven measurement intervals (p < 0.05) and are adjusted for baseline age, ΔHt, ΔWt, maturity, and sports participation.
