Both cross sectional and longitudinal analyses of measures including:
(1) questionnaires on demographics, training and injury history, hours of physical activity and nutrition,
(2) bone strength using peripheral quantitative computed tomography – pQCT,
(3) biomechanical stiffness during repeated jumps.
Primary and secondary data available.
