EFFECTS OF BASKETBALL ON THE BONE MİNERAL DENSITY OF ADOLESCENT
Abstract
Effects of basketball on the bone mineral density (KMY) of adolescent and young adult female (BB) and male (EB) basketball players were evaluated. The age distribution, body mass index (VKE), duration of exercise (for how many years, for how many weeks per year, for how many days per week and for how many hours per day), food consumption and living habits of the BB and EB groups were compared to the KMY. The KMY was measured with a dual energy x-ray absorbtiometer (QDR - 4500, Hologic Inc.). The spinal column (Li-La) and the right hip region (femoral neck, trochanteric region, intertrochanteric area, Ward triangle and total femur) were evaluated in the anterior-posterior direction. The "WHO Osteoporosis Project" questionnaire established for case control studies in 1993 was modified and applied to the athletes to assess their food consumption, living habits and menstrual status of the female players. The results indicate that there is a positive correlation between the age, VKE and duration of exercise and KMYin both of the groups. The increase of KMY compared to the increase of the VKE in the EH group was more significant than that of the BB group, especially at the hip region. The Eli group training for less than 450 h per year had higher values, specially around the hip region, than the BB group. However, the KMY values of the EB and BB groups training for more than 450 h per year had similar values. The KMY values of the BB group trained less than 2000 h in total were tower than that of the EB group. Both the EB and BB groups trained more than 2000 h in total had similar KMY values. As the ages of both of the groups were relatively young, smoking and alcohol consumption was not recorded. Menstrual irregularities and painful menstruation was a common finding in the BB group, however, they did not correlate with the KMY values.
