EVALUATION OF MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTH IN YOUNG AND COLLEGIATE HOCKEY AND SOCCER P

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项先导性研究的目的是评估年轻和大学曲棍球和足球运动员的肌肉骨骼健康状况(骨骼力量、肌肉大小和肌肉力量)。我们假设，与对照组相比，年轻运动员和大学生运动员在负重部位都会有更高的骨强度，这与更高的肌肉质量有关。这些数据将被用作试点数据，以获得资金，对年轻和大学运动员的肌肉骨骼发育和损伤进行纵向流行病学研究。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate musculoskeletal health (bone strength, muscle size and muscle strength) in young and collegiate hockey and soccer players. We hypothesize that both young and collegiate athletes will have higher bone strength, related to higher muscle mass, at loaded sites compared to controls. This data will be used as pilot data to obtain funding for a longitudinal epidemiological study of musculoskeletal development and injuries in young and collegiate athletes.
