Abstract:BackgroundLow bone mineral density (BMD) increases the risk of bone stress injuries (BSI) and is one of several clinical concerns in Para athlete sports medicine. However, whether bone microarchitecture is altered in Para athletes is not known.ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate BMD, bone microarchitecture and incidence of bone stress injuries in Norwegian elite Para athletes.DesignIn this cross-sectional study in Para athletes, Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (iDXA, Lunar, GE Health Care) derived areal BMD, tra… Show more
