Correlation coefficients for the bone mineral parameters, physical activity data, and energy equivalent strain. Pearson correlations were used for normally distributed variables, and Spearman’s ranked correlations for non-normal variables. N=23 for all comparisons except for those with BPAQ or Upper Extremity BPAQ, where n=17.
