Exercise may alleviate behavioral impairments associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Studies of the mechanisms underlying exercise-mediated effects have increased in disease models, but the neurobiological background accompanying these diseases, specifically aging, is likely not considered. Here, we illustrate measures to increase the likelihood of a successful exercise paradigm in aged...

Impact Strength of Concrete

598
Impact strength in concrete is a critical measure that reflects the material's capability to endure the forces applied during pile driving and when supporting machinery foundations that experience impulsive loads. It is also essential when handling precast concrete components to prevent accidental damage. The impact strength is assessed by observing the concrete's resistance to repeated impacts and energy absorption capacity. A key indicator of significant damage to concrete is when it...

The effect of short-term resistance training on elderly people was investigated through the simultaneous use of several methods. Compared to a control group, many improvements were seen, including on muscle aerobic capacity, glucose tolerance, strength, power, and muscle quality (i.e., protein involved in cell signaling and muscle fiber type...

Area of Science:

  • Skeletal Biology
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Physical activity positively influences skeletal development.
  • The specific effects of impact sports during adolescence on bone growth and quality are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of in vivo low (LI), medium (MI), and high (HI) impact loadings during puberty on bone growth, morphometry, and biomechanics in a rat model.

Main Methods:

  • Adolescent rats were subjected to controlled impact loadings (walking, running, jumping) on their tibiae for 8 weeks.
  • Bone growth, morphometry, and biomechanical properties were assessed using micro-CT, histomorphometry, and bending tests.

Main Results:

  • High impact loading (HI) reduced body weight and food consumption.
  • Bone growth rate decreased in MI and HI groups, yet hypertrophic and proliferative zones thickened.
  • HI significantly increased bone mineral density, trabecular thickness, and cortical/total bone area.
  • MI and HI groups demonstrated improved ultimate load and stiffness.

Conclusions:

  • Impact loading during adolescence leads to moderate reductions in bone growth.
  • Despite reduced growth, impact loading significantly enhances bone quality and biomechanical strength by the end of the growing period.
