چکیده
5 To test the hypothesis that daily weight-making is more problematic to health in male 6 compared with female jockeys, we compared the bone-density and resting metabolic 7 rate (RMR) in weight-matched male and female Flat-jockeys. RMR (kcal.kg lean 8 mass) was lower in males compared with females as well as lower bone-density Z9 scores at the hip and lumbar spine. Data suggest the lifestyle of male jockeys’ 10 compromise health more severely than females, possibly due to making-weight more 11

Elite male Flat jockeys display lower bone density and lower resting metabolic rate than their female counterparts: implications for athlete welfare.
To test the hypothesis that daily weight-making is more problematic to health in male compared with female jockeys, we compared the bone density and resting metabolic rate (RMR) in weight-matched male and female Flat jockeys. RMR (kcal·kg(-1) lean mass) was lower in males compared with females as well as lower bone-density Z scores at the hip and lumbar spine. Data suggest the lifestyle of male...
متن کاملLower Bone Mineral Density is Associated with Intertrochanteric Hip Fracture
Background: A better understanding of how bone mineral density and vitamin D levels are associated with femoralneck and intertrochanteric hip fractures may help inform healthcare providers. We asked: 1) In patients age ≥ 55 years,is there a difference in quantitative ultrasound of the heel (QUS) t-score between patients with fractures of the femoralneck and those with fractures of the intertroc...

متن کاملFall and injury incidence rates of jockeys while racing in Ireland, France and Britain.
This article presents and analyses injury incidence rates for amateur and professional racing jockeys in Ireland, France and Britain by means of a retrospective study and review of published data. Amateur jump racing was seen to have the highest fall risk in these three countries (between 115 and 140 falls/1000 rides). Jump racing also had the highest rates of injury/ride amongst both amateur a...
متن کاملAre physiological attributes of jockeys predictors of falls? A pilot study
Objectives This pilot study describes the physiological attributes of jockeys and track-work riders in Tasmania and investigates whether these attributes are associated with falls. Methods All jockeys and track-work riders licensed in Tasmania were invited to participate. The study group consisted of eight jockeys (two female, six male) and 20 track-work riders (14 female, six male). Measures ...
