Original Source: The role of lean body mass and physical activity in bone health in children.
In the context of physical education curricula, markers of physical fitness (e.g., aerobic capacity, muscular strength, flexibility, and body mass index or body fat) are usually evaluated in reference to health standards. Despite their possible mediating role in the relationship between weight-bearing or muscle forces and features of bone tissue, these attributes of fitness may not be the most relevant to predict skeletal health. It is therefore important to analyze the relative contribution of these factor...

New study links healthy muscle mass to healthy bones, finds differences by gender
Researchers have long been aware that the progressive loss of muscle mass and bone density is a natural part of aging. But little work has investigated how muscle tissue affects the inner and outer la...

Healthy muscle mass linked to healthy bones, but there are gender differences
A new study looked at skeletal muscle mass and bone health across the life span and discovered distinct differences in how muscle affects the two layers of bone in men and women.
Exercise Saves Lean Body Mass After Gastric Bypass (CME/CE)
PHILADELPHIA (MedPage Today) -- Obese patients who undergo bariatric bypass surgery lose more lean muscle mass early in recovery than gastric banding patients, but an intense exercise program can miti...

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Age-related declines in lean body mass appear to be more rapid in men than in women but our understanding of muscle mass and function among different subgroups of men and their c...
Bone and muscle, two major tissue types of musculoskeletal system, have strong genetic determination. Abnormality in bone and/or muscle may cause musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoporosis and sarc...
