Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Sports effects on bone mineral density (BMD) are found to be related to sport events, intensity and duration time.
OBJECTIVE: To understand the relationship between BMD, especially the radius BMD and sports ability.
METHODS: Totally 173 subjects were recruited, including 93 basketball athletes (21 elite athletes, 32 first-class athletes and 40 second-class athletes), and 80 sophomores. The BMD of bilateral radius, hip bone, femur, calcaneus, and lumbar vertebrae was measured by Prodigy Advance dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The independent sample t test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis were conducted using SPSS 20.0 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Except for the BMD of lumbar vertebrae, all measurements were significantly different between basketball players and college students (P < 0.05), especially the radial BMD (P < 0.01). Except for the BMD of left radius in male athletes and bilateral radius in female athletes of the elite and first-class groups, all measurements showed significant differences among athletes (P < 0.05). The correlation analysis between basketball ability and radical BMD was stronger in males than in females on the right side than on the left side. Therefore, long-term basketball exercise has a positive impact on appendicular BMD. The radical BMD is positively related to the basketball ability, so it can provide a theoretical basis for the optimization of the index selection of basketball players.
