Markers of Bone Formation Are Augmented Following Three Months of Ballistic Training

The osteogenic index (OI) has been used to estimate the potential effectiveness of an exercise protocol on bone adaptations. It is speculated that splitting a training program into multiple daily sessions while incorporating rest periods in between loading sessions is more advantageous than all loading occurring during a single bout of exercise. PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that two (2EX) vs one (1EX) session per day of ballistic resistance...
