This first author publication was the final study in my dissertation. This study investigated the long term effects of early adolescent physical activity on the development of bone structural strength at the proximal femur in adulthood to capture whether habitual activity during adolescence had sustained benefits to bone geometry in adulthood.

Pediatric Exercise Medicine
The purpose of this study was to investigate structural properties at the hip after long term retirement from gymnastics. It was observed that ten years after retirement from gymnastics, former gymnasts’ maintained significantly better hip bone structure than females who did not participate in gymnastics during growth.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether adolescent growth trajectories of aerobic fitness and adiposity were associated with mid-adulthood cardio-metabolic risk (CMR). It was observed that growth trajectories of adolescent aerobic fitness and adiposity were not associated with mid-adulthood CMR.

This first author chapter proceeding from 'Children and Exercise XXVIII The Proceedings of the 28th Pediatric Work Physiology Meeting' aimed to investigate whether gymnastic exposure was associated with estimated bone strength development derived from pQCT at the distal radius in young males and female. I was the recipient of the Hans Stoboy and Best Oral Presentation for the presentation of this research at the 2013 PWP Biannual Meeting.
