Plantar pressures in male adolescent soccer players and its associations with bone geometry and strength

摘要

BACKGROUND: Mechanical loads exerted by soccer-specific actions increase bone remodeling activity. Nevertheless. little is known about the relationship between plantar pressure and bone structure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare bone geometry and strength between soccer players who exhibited different maximum values of the average pressures (MP) when performing a combination of soccer-specific tasks.
