“Bounce at the Bell”: a novel program of short bouts of exercise improves proximal femur bone mass in early pubertal children

Abstract

This novel, easily implemented exercise program, took only a few minutes each day and enhanced bone mass at the weight bearing proximal femur in early pubertal children. A large, randomised study of boys and girls should be undertaken powered to test the effectiveness of Bounce at the Bell in children at different stages of maturity, and in boys and girls independently.
