Bone Geometry, Strength, and Muscle Size in Runners with a History of Stress Fracture

Popp KL et al. – The findings suggest that cortical bone strength, cortical area, and MCSA are all lower in runners with a history of stress fracture. However, the lower strength was appropriate for the smaller muscle size, suggesting that interventions to reduce stress fracture risk might be aimed at improving muscle size and strength.
