| Abstract: | Ten individuals underwent 20 days of horizontal bed rest for this study of the influence of muscle mass and strength on bone mineral density. Muscle mass volume and cross sectional area were measured using magnetic resonance imaging and bone mineral density was determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry before and after bed rest. Measurements were made at various parts of the leg, including the knee. Gender differences were also determined. Results are presented and discussed. |
