- Associations between nutrition, energy expenditure and energy availability with bone mass acquisition in dance students: a 3-year longitudinal studyPublication . Amorim, Tânia; Freitas, Laura; Metsios, George S.; Thayse, Natacha Gomes; Wyon, Matthew; Flouris, Andreas D.; Maia, José; Marques, Franklim; Nogueira, Luísa; Adubeiro, Nuno; Koutedakis, YiannisThree years of study showed that female and male vocational dancers displayed lower bone mass compared to controls, at forearm, lumbar spine and femoral neck. Energy intake was found to positively predict bone mass accruals only in female dancers at femoral neck. Vocational dancers can be a risk population to develop osteoporosis.
- Endocrine parameters in association with bone mineral accrual in young female vocational ballet dancersPublication . Amorim, Tânia; Metsios, George S.; Flouris, Andreas D.; Nevill, Alan; Gomes, Thayse N.; Wyon, Matthew; Marques, Franklim; Nogueira, Luisa; Adubeiro, Nuno; Jamurtas, Athanasios Z.; Maia, José; Koutedakis, YiannisLess is known on bone mass gains in dancers involved in vocational dance training. The present study found that, as young vocational dancers progress on their professional training, their bone health remains consistently lower compared to non- exercising controls. Endocrine mechanisms do not seem to explain these findings.
