R Square reflects the variability in bone outcome explained by the model. R-square change* signifies percent of the variability explained by sport group classification. Covariates included in analysis: weight, height, and PAQ-AD score.

BSI, bone strength index; SSIp, density weighted polar section modulus strength-strain index; aBMD, areal bone mineral density; FN Z, femoral neck section modulus; CSA, cross sectional area; PAQ-AD, Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adults.
