EFFECT OF HIGH-INTENSITY TRAINING ON BONE MINERAL DENSITY IN BASKETBALL PLAYERS

EFEITO DO TREINAMENTO DE ALTA INTENSIDADE NA DENSIDADE MINERAL ÓSSEA EM JOGADORES DE BASQUETE

EFECTO DEL ENTRENAMIENTO DE ALTA INTENSIDAD SOBRE LA DENSIDAD MINERAL ÓSEA EN JUGADORES DE BALONCESTO

ABSTRACT

Introduction

Increasing the bone mineral density of athletes can provide better basic physical conditions for basketball players, prevent fractures caused by osteopenia and reduce the occurrence of serious sports injuries.

Objective

Explore the effect of high-intensity training on bone mineral density in basketball players.

Methods

In this experiment, 30 subjects were divided into male and female groups, and high-intensity exercise training was performed for 60 minutes, three times a week, for eight weeks. The relevant indices were measured before and after training, and their data were classified and analyzed.

Results

High-intensity training can significantly improve the bone mineral density of basketball players, and the increase of bone mineral density of female basketball players is slightly lower than that of male players. In addition, the increase in bone mineral density can comprehensively improve athletes’ muscular strength and physical fitness.

Conclusion

High-intensity training can improve basketball players’ bone mineral density and sports skills, requiring promoting studies for its popularization in colleges and universities. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
