  • Is gymnastics exposure associated with skeletal benefits at the forearm in young children?

    Routledge

    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.
