Bone Metabolic Marker and Bone Mineral Density and Stress Fracture of Long Distance Runners of Women
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.29 Vol.29】
We studied prospectively the relationship between the bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolic marker (BMM) and the practice volume, condition and over use injuries (stress fracture etc) in long distance runners of women (55 women) in a college.
The group in stress fracture showed significantly higher U-NTxCr than non injured group. Amount of U-NTxCr in the women runners who suffered stress fracture was normal at non injured period, but some runners showed high U-NTxCr just before suffering stress fracture. It suggested that BMM may become early markers about diagnosis of stress fracture.
