SHORT-TERM FREE-FALL LANDING CAUSES REDUCED BONE SIZE AND BENDING ENERGY IN FEMORA OF GROWING RATS

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a mechanical loading course (short-term free-fall landing) on femoral geometry and biomechanical properties in growing rats. Thirty-two female Wistar rats (7-week-old) were randomly assigned to three groups: L30 (n = 11), L10 (n = 11) and CON...
