Effects of plyometric exercise session on markers of bone turnover in boys and young men

The acute exercise effects on bone markers in adults are unclear, while in children, there are no such data. To investigate the acute response of biochemical markers of bone turnover to a high-impact exercise session consisting of high-mechanical loading in boys and young men. Twelve boys (10.2 ± 0.4 years) and 14 men (22.0 ± 0.8 years) underwent a protocol of plyometric jumping exercises (total 144 jumps). Venous blood samples were collected...
