β¦ Synopsis
Our aim has been to determine the relationship between long term physical activity (running) and the number and type of fractures occurring in 906 subjects. Analysis focused on the fractures which occurred during the last lO years of observation in 722 subjects over the age of 55years (456 runners and 266 nonrunners). Male and female runners had more fractures than nonrunnets, mainly in the lower extremity. Men with a high body mass had fewer total fractures and fewer arm fractures than those with a lower body mass. Men and women with a high calcium intake had fewer fractures from falls than those with a low calcium intake. Fewer fractures from falls occurred in women the longer they had been taking hormones. R/~sum/~. Le but de notre btude a btb d'bvaluer les rapports entre une activitb physique prolongke (course de fond) et le nombre et le type de fractures observkes. L'analyse a btb centrbe sur les fractures survenues au cours des dix dernidres annkes chez 722 sujets de plus de 55 arts (456 coureurs et 266 non coureurs). Les coureurs, quel que soit leur sexe, ont prbsentk plus de fractures que les autres, surtout des fractures des membres infkrieurs. On a observb moins de fractures chez les hommes les plus lourds, notamment au niveau des bras. Chez les hommes et les femmes dont la nourriture btait riche en calcium il y a eu moins de fractures consbcutives d une chute, de m~me que chez les femmes suivant depuis longtemps une thkrapeutique hormonale.

Energy expenditure (EE) was estimated in 282 Taiwanese adolescents 12-14 years of age, 138 boys and 144 girls, using the 3-day activity record and protocol of Bouchard et al. Am. J. . Total daily estimated EE and EE in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (about 4 t METS) were considered on a wee
