Table 2. The cross-sectional geometry and mineral density of the tibia were not affected by 3 weeks of exercise.

The moment of inertia was derived about the anterior-posterior axis, while the distance to the neutral axis was measured from the most medial portion of the tibia since failure occurred along the medial side under tension. Each parameter was derived at the standard site located mid-way between the loading points of the mechanical testing (n = 8).
