dc.description.abstractAthletes participating in sports characterized by specific loading modalities have exhibited different levels of augmentation of bone properties; however, it remains unclear to what extent these loading environments affect bone micro-architecture and estimated bone strength. Furthermore, the relative role of impact forces versus muscle forces in determining bone properties remains unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the influence of impact loading on bone micro-architecture and estimated bone strength in elite athletes, and to investigate the relationship between these bone parameters and muscle strength in elite athletes. The results of this study suggest that impact loading is highly, positively associated with bone micro-architecture and estimated bone strength. Additionally, muscle strength and bone properties were positively associated, but these associations were often weak. This study has provided a unique analysis of the relation between impact loading, muscle strength, and bone micro-architecture and estimated bone strength.
