DXA nbFFM: Non-bone Lean Mass; PBF: % Body Fat; MEN: Pre-menarche= 0, Post-menarche=1;

GYMHRS: mean h/wk gymnastic training for the year prior to the focal DXA scan; St β: standardized beta; PCC: partial correlation coefficient, represents square root of percent of variance explained after accounting for the effects of other variables; FN: femoral neck; NN: narrow neck;

BMC: bone mineral content; aBMD: areal bone mineral density; bCSA: bone tissue cross-sectional area; CSMI: cross-sectional moment of inertia; ED: endosteal diameter; CT: cortical thickness; Z: section modulus; BR: buckling ratio; SN Angle: shaft neck angle;

HAL: hip axis length.

Presented FNBMC and FNBMD results use data that are corrected for fan beam magnification error.

Bold type indicates that GYMHRS was not a significant independent predictor within the model.

Models were built as follows: age, nbFFM, PBF, MEN, GYMHRS, Interaction (GYMHRS x MEN),
