isk in these college athletes, especially when movement quality and symptom scores were used in combination. The findings from the current study suggest that the LEFT appears to be a reliable and valid functional assessment tool for predicting low back or lower limb injury risk in these college athletes, especially when movement quality and symptom scores were used in combination. Physical exercise is one of the main agents when it comes to rehabilitation and changes in health aspects of people with SCI. This study intended to establish the effects of circuit resistance training (CRT) on people with spinal cord injury (SCI), specifically on their body composition, muscle strength, anaerobic power, and functional capacity. Sample consisted of five people with SCI both sexes, ages between 25 and 62 years, and 12 weeks of CRT, twice a week. Before and after the 12 weeks of intervention, this research adopted clear-cut tests (medicine ball pitch, Wingate, zigzag, and dual-energy x-ray densitometry) to analyze the desired variables (muscle strength, anaerobic power, functional capacity, and body composition). Showed muscle strength improvement (p=0.028), agility increase (p=0.028), and equal levels of lean mass, bone mineral content, and bone loss index throughout life (T-score). Therefore, one can consider that CRT is an alternative to develop the upper limbs muscle power and functional agility. Together, all these variables may imply an overall improvement of the functional capacity in people with SCI. Additionally, these 12 weeks of CRT were responsible for helping the maintenance of lean mass, bone mineral content and T-score in this study's sample.

Bone density in the young-adult life is associated with risk for osteoporosis in later life. Next to genetic factors, lifestyle seems to play an important role for bone health. Purpose of the study was to clarify the relationship between various lifestyle factors and bone parameters in university students. In 233 women and 52 men (age 22.7±3.1 vs. 24.0±3.2 years; BMI 22.2±2.9 vs. 24.2±3.1 kg∙m-2) the following parameters were assessed calcaneal stiffness index (SI; quantitative ultrasound), body composition (bioelectrical impedance analysis), actual and past physical activity level (PAL; standardized questionnaire), and food/nutrient intake (3-day dietary record). Sex differences (Mann-Whitney-U-tests), relationships between SI and lifestyle factors (Spearman´s rank correlation), and the influence of the factors on the variance of SI (multiple linear regression) were tested (α=0.05). 6.9% of the women and 5.8% of the men were classified as osteopenic (-2.5<Tscore<-1). Significant correlations between SI and BMI, absolute fat mass and fat-free mass, actual PAL, and physical activity during adolescence were found in women (r=0.18-0.24, all p<0.05), but not in men. Food/nutrient parameters did not significantly correlate with bone outcomes (p>0.05). In multiple regression analysis physical activity during adolescence, actual PAL, and BMI explained 8% of the variance of SI (p<0.0001) SI=32.2+3.5∙physical activity during adolescence [1=very low, 2=low, 3=medium, 4=high, 5=very high]+28.5∙PAL+0.8∙BMI [kg∙m-2]). Parameters of physical activity seem to be more important for bone health than nutrition factors. Therefore, high levels of physical activity during childhood, adolescence, and early-adult life are highly recommended to improve bone parameters. Parameters of physical activity
