Abstract

Dual energy X-ray bone absorptiometry (DXA) analysis and blood examination were carried out on college sports women (n=19, average 19.8±1.0 years) and general women (n=10, average 22.5±2.1 years). Several findings were obtained as follows. (1)Lean body mass was higher and % fat was lower significantly (p<0.001, p<0.01) in female long distance athletes compared with general women. (2) Bone mineral density on lumbar spine (L₂-L₄) and tibia shaft was higher significantly (p<0.05, p<0.05) in female Judo participants compared with general women. (3) Bone mineral density on tibia shaft was lower significantly (p<0.05) in female swimmers compared with general women. (4) Blood estradiol was low in 47% of the female college sports women. But they did not show the tendency towards lack of bone mineral content.
