Jump Power and Force Have Distinct Associations With Cortical Bone Parameters: Findings From a Population Enriched by Individuals With High Bone Mass

Abstract

Although power and force are both positively associated with cortical bone strength, distinct mechanisms appear to be involved because power was primarily associated with reduced endocortical expansion (reflected by endocortical circumference adjusted for periosteal circumference, and hip BMD), whereas force was associated with increased periosteal expansion (reflected by total bone area).
