RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The bone-specific physical activity questionnaire (BPAQ) provides a bone-relevant index of physical activity participation according to the mechanical loads experienced across the life span. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We aimed to examine relationships between historical bone-relevant physical activity and pQCT-derived parameters of bone strength. We recruited 532 healthy volunteers (277 males, 255 females) across a broad age range (4-97 years). Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (XCT-3000, Stratec, Germany) was used to examine volumetric bone density, area, and strength indices of the non-dominant tibia and radius. Exercise loading history from birth was determined using the past BPAQ (pBPAQ) score. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine relationships between pBPAQ scores and pQCT parameters. RESULTS: Independent of sex, pBPAQ scores were associated with total density at the 38% and 66% tibial sites and the 66% radial site (r = 0.145-0.261, p ˂ 0.05), total area at the 38% tibial site and 4% and 66% radial sites (r = 0.129-0.156, p ˂ 0.05), and strength indices at all measured sites (r = 0.123-0.234, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: We conclude that, independent of sex, historical bone-relevant physical activity is associated with pQCT-derived indices of bone strength, indicating that pBPAQ captures the characteristics of bone loading history that are likely to be relevant adaptive stimuli. A larger sample is required to examine the influence of age on this relationship.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the 12-month maintenance of a 9-month, thrice-weekly, 10-minute high-intensity exercise program, delivered in schools, on bone and other health-related performance variables in prepubertal children. METHODS: All participants (N = 311) of the CAPO kids trial (testing times T1-T2) were contacted to undergo retesting (T3) of all original measures-including weight, standing and sitting height, calcaneal broadband ultrasound attenuation (Achilles, GE), and stiffness index (Achilles, GE)-waist circumference, resting heart rate, blood pressure, vertical jump, and aerobic capacity. Maturity was determined by estimating age of peak height velocity using sex-specific regression equations. RESULTS: A total of 240 children [12.3 (0.6) y old] were included in the current study (77% of initial follow-up sample at T2). Between the T2 and T3 time points, both exercise (EX) group and control (CON) group increased broadband ultrasound attenuation (EX: 5.6%, P ≤ .001; CON: 6.5%, P ≤ .001), stiffness index (EX: 7.3%, P ≤ .001; CON: 5.2%, P ≤ .001), vertical jump (EX: 5.9%, P ≤ .001; CON: 6.3%, P ≤ .001), estimated maximal oxygen consumption (EX: 13.3%, P ≤ .001; CON: 12.1%, P ≤ .001), and reduced waist circumference (EX: -5.2%, P ≤ .001; CON: -5.6%, P ≤ .001), with no between-group differences in the magnitude of those changes. No differences were detected in absolute values between groups at T3. CONCLUSION: Although the statistically significant differences observed between groups following the intervention were no longer significant 1 year after withdrawal of the intervention, the between-group similarities in growth trajectories of those parameters could suggest that some benefit of the intervention for bone health, waist circumference, and physical performance endured.

RESUMO

Skeletal robustness (cross-section size relative to length) is associated with stress fractures in adults, and appears to explain the high incidence of distal radius fractures in adolescents. However, little is known about the ontogeny of long bone robustness during the first three decades of life. Therefore, we explored the ontogeny of tibial, fibular, ulnar and radial robustness in a cross-sectional sample of 5 to 29year-old volunteers of both sexes. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) was used to evaluate cross-sections of the leg (4%, 14%, 38% and 66%), and forearm (4%, and 66%) in N=432 individuals. Robustness was evaluated as the total bone area divided by bone length. Differences between age-groups, sexes, and age-group×sex interactions were evaluated with ANOVA with Tukey's post hocs where appropriate. Most bone sites exhibited more robust bones in men than women (P<0.001 to 0.02), and in older age-groups than younger (P<0.001). Sex×age-group interaction was observed at the 66% and 38% tibia sites with robustness increasing more with age in men than in women (P=0.006 to 0.042). Post-hoc analyses indicated no sex differences prior to 13years-of-age, and notable exceptions to increasing robustness with age at the 4% radial and 66% tibial sites, which exhibited reduced robustness in age groups close to peak height velocity. In conclusion, the present results suggest that very little sexual dimorphism in long bone robustness exists prior to puberty, and that divergence occurs primarily after cessation of longitudinal growth. A period of relative diaphyseal slenderness was identified at age-groups coinciding with the adolescent growth spurt, which may be related to the relatively high incidence of frank and stress fracture in adolescents.

RESUMO

Sedentarism is associated with obesity and other chronic diseases at all ages. Increasing physical activity with in-school interventions, focusing on energy expenditure and bone loading reduces risk of a number of costly chronic diseases. The aim of the current study was to characterise the metabolic and musculoskeletal load intensity of the recent successful CAPO Kids exercise intervention. Pre and early pubertal children (10.4 ± 0.5 years old) from the CAPO Kids trial wore an armband sensor to estimate energy expenditure during a 10-minute CAPO Kids session. Eleven participants performed manoeuvres from the session on a force platform to determine vertical ground reaction forces. In total, 28 boys and 20 girls had armband measures and 11 boys and girls undertook GRF testing. The energy expenditure associated with the 10-minute session was 39.7 ± 9.3 kcal, with an average of 4 kcal·min-1. The intensity of physical activity was 'vigorous' to 'very vigorous' for 34% of the session. Vertical ground reaction forces of the CAPO Kids manoeuvres ranged from 1.3 ± 0.2 BW (cartwheels) to 5.4 ± 2.3 BW (360° jump). CAPO Kids generates adequate load intensity to stimulate positive health adaptations in both metabolic and musculoskeletal systems of pre and early pubertal children. Key pointsEnergy expenditure of a single bout of CAPO Kids yields 39.7±9.3 kcal and includes activities performed at a vigorous and very vigorous intensity.Mechanical loads associated with CAPO Kids surpass five times bodyweight and more than 140 bodyweights per second.CAPO Kids intervention represents a viable approach to stimulate musculoskeletal and metabolic adaptation in children.

RESUMO

Growth is the opportune time to modify bone accrual. While bone adaptation is known to be dependent on local loading and consequent deformations (strain) of bone, little is known about the effects of sex, and bone-specific physical activity on location-specific cross-sectional bone geometry during growth. To provide more insight we examined bone traits at different locations around tibial cross sections, and along the tibia between individuals who vary in terms of physical activity exposure, sex, and pubertal status. Data from 304 individuals aged 5-29 years (172 males, 132 females) were examined. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) was applied at 4%, 14%, 38%, and 66% of tibial length. Maturity was established by estimating age at peak height velocity (APHV). Loading history was quantified with the bone-specific physical activity questionnaire (BPAQ). Comparisons, adjusted for height, weight and age were made between sex, maturity, and BPAQ tertile groups. Few to no differences were observed between sexes or BPAQ tertiles prior to APHV, whereas marked sexual dimorphism and differences between BPAQ tertiles were observed after APHV. Cross-sectional location-specific differences between BPAQ tertiles were not evident prior to APHV, whereas clear location-specificity was observed after APHV. In conclusion, the skeletal benefits of physical activity are location-specific in the tibia. The present results indicate that the peri- or post-pubertal period is likely a more favourable window of opportunity for enhancing cross-sectional bone geometry than pre-puberty. Increased loading during the peri-pubertal period may enhance the bone of both sexes.

RESUMO

Our goal was to test the effect of a brief, novel bone- and fat-targeted exercise program on bone, muscle, and fat in healthy pre and peripubertal boys. We conducted a 10-min, 3/wk capoeira and jumping exercise intervention for 9 months with year 5 and 6 school boys. Anthropometrics, maturity, heart rate, blood pressure, maximal vertical jump, aerobic capacity and calcaneal broadband ultrasound attenuation and stiffness index (BUA and SI; Achilles, GE) were assessed. Bone, lean and fat tissue (DXA; XR800, Norland), and parameters of bone geometry (pQCT, XCT3000, Stratec) were measured from a subsample of 36 boys. Of 188 boys (10.6 ± 0.5 yr) who consented, 172 completed all testing; 104 exercisers (EX) and 68 controls (CON). 30 EX and 6 CON participants underwent DXA and pQCT measures. EX improved BUA (+4.3% vs. +2.1%, p = .035), waist circumference (+2.8% vs. +6.2%, p = .001), heart rate (-5.3% vs. +1.5%, p = .005), maximal vertical jump (+12.2% vs. -0.3%, p = .001) and estimated maximal oxygen consumption (+9.1% vs. +1.2%, p = .001) compared with CON. Three 10-min sessions of capoeira and jumping per week improved calcaneal bone and metabolic health of pre and peripubertal boys over the course of a school year with little disruption to the academic schedule.

RESUMO

UNLABELLED: The CAPO Kids trial was a 9-mo, controlled, school-based intervention to examine the effects of a novel, brief, high intensity exercise regime on indices of musculoskeletal and metabolic health in pre- and early-pubertal girls. METHODS: A total of 151 pre- and early-pubertal girls (10.6±0.6years), recruited from two different schools consented to participate; 76 in the exercise group (EX) and 75 in the control group (CON). EX performed 10min bouts of thrice-weekly jumping plus capoeira (a Brazilian sport that combines martial art with dance), along with usual physical education (PE) activities. CON continued usual PE alone. Maturity, weight, height, waist circumference, resting heart rate and blood pressure, maximal vertical jump, and aerobic capacity were determined using standard clinical and field measures. Calcaneal broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) and stiffness index (SI) were determined from quantitative ultrasonometry. A subsample of children also underwent DXA and pQCT measures. Prior physical activity participation and daily calcium consumption were determined from validated instruments. RESULTS: EX girls improved BUA more than CON (+4.5% vs. +1.4%, p=0.019). Resting heart rate (-7.2% vs. -1.8%, p<0.01), maximal vertical jump (+13.4% vs. -1.2%, p<0.001), estimated maximal oxygen consumption (+10.6% vs. +1.0%, p<0.001), and waist circumference (+2.7% vs. +5.6%, p<0.001) also improved more for EX than CON. CONCLUSION: Ten minutes of high intensity exercise (capoeira and jumping) three times a week in the primary school setting enhances musculoskeletal and metabolic outcomes in pre- and early-pubertal girls without disrupting the academic schedule. The programme, amenable to broad-scale school implementation, would confer meaningful public health benefits.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the effects of school-based, bone-focused exercise interventions on bone, fat, and lean mass in children by systematically reviewing and meta-analyzing the literature. METHODS: Potentially relevant articles were identified by searching electronic databases. Abstracts were included if they described the effects of an in-school exercise intervention for children 5-17 yr old compared with controls and presented baseline and follow-up results for bone, fat, and lean measures. Identified studies were systematically reviewed for methodological quality. Meta-analyses were performed for whole body, lumbar spine, and femoral neck bone mineral content (BMC), fat, and lean mass. RESULTS: Sixteen eligible trials were identified including eight randomized controlled trials, three clinical controlled trials, and five nonrandomized, nonmatched studies. The quality analysis revealed two studies had low, nine had medium, and five had a high risk of bias. Meta-analyses revealed a small positive effect of bone-targeted exercise on whole body BMC (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.483, 95% CI = 0.132-0.833), femoral neck BMC (SMD = 0.292, 95% CI = -0.022 to 0.607), lumbar spine BMC (SMD = 0.384, 95% CI = 0.193-0.575), fat mass (SMD = -0.248, 95% CI = -0.406 to -0.089), and lean mass (SMD = 0.159, 95% CI = -0.076 to 0.394). CONCLUSIONS: Beneficial effects of school-based, bone-targeted exercise were observed for bone and fat, but not for lean mass. Excluding trials with high risk of bias strengthened that effect. Considerable study heterogeneity may have obscured effects on lean mass. The effects observed for bone and fat support the pursuit of brief, jumping-focused interventions to reduce fat as well as enhance musculoskeletal tissue in school age children.
