Associations between nutrition, energy expenditure and energy availability with...
Amorim, Tânia; Freitas, Laura; Metsios, George S.; Thayse, Natacha Gomes; Wyon, Matthew; Flouris, Andreas D.; Maia, José; Marques, FranklimThree 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 v...
Amorim, Tânia; Metsios, George S.; Flouris, Andreas D.; Nevill, Alan; Gomes, Thayse N.; Wyon, Matthew; Marques, Franklim; Nogueira, LuisaLess 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.
Genetic variants at the Wnt/[beta]-catenin and oestrogen receptor signalling pa...
Amorim, Tânia; Durães, Cecília; Maia, José; Machado, José Carlos; Nogueira, Luísa; Adubeiro, Nuno; Flouris, Andreas D.; Metsios, George S.Research suggests that dancers are at higher risk of developing low bone mineral density (BMD) compared with the general population. However, the associated factors contributing to low BMD in dancers are not fully understood. We aimed to assess the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Wnt/b-catenin and oestrogen receptor (ER) signalling pathways with low BMD in dancers.
