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

这个子项目是许多利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 这项试点研究的目的是评估肌肉骨骼健康（骨强度，肌肉大小和肌肉力量）在年轻和大学曲棍球和足球运动员。我们假设，年轻和大学生运动员将有更高的骨强度，与较高的肌肉质量，在负荷部位相比，控制。这些数据将被用作试点数据，以获得资金的纵向流行病学研究的肌肉骨骼的发展和伤害的年轻和大学运动员。

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.
