Table 3. Means and standard deviations of the cortical density in millimeters of aluminum (mmAl) of the radius, third metacarpal, calcaneus, and accessory carpal bone.
| Cortical density | ||
|---|---|---|
| Bone | GC | EG |
| Radius | 300 ± 64.36a | 327.2 ± 108.5a |
| Third metacarpal | 157.6 ± 21.69a | 186.4 ± 27.41b |
| Calcaneus | 151.6 ± 28.19a | 203.5 ± 84.56b |
| Accessory carpal | 149.4 ± 25.26a | 183.5 ± 55.71b |
Different letters between the columns indicate significant differences (p ≤ 0.05). GC, control group; EG, exercise group.
