Résumé
The aim of the study was to establish the bone and body composition characteristics of high-level athletes with and without a history of stress fracture injury. Overall, 279 high-level athletes (212 men, 67 women) (age 28.0±9.2 years; body mass 75.0±17.4 kg; height 1.78±0.10 m) and 112 non-athletic controls (60 women, 52 men) 36.2±15.0 years; 70.9±12.9 kg; 1.71±0.10 m) were assessed by DXA to establish their bone mineral density and content, body fat and lean mass. Athletes completed a questionnaire detailing their stress fracture history. There were no differences in whole-body bone mineral density (men 1.41±0.12 g/cm DXA derived bone and body composition characteristics were not independent risk factors for stress fracture injury in high-level athletes. This study in a large cohort of high-level athletes provides normative bone and body composition values that can be used as a benchmark for researchers and applied practitioners.

DXA derived bone and body composition characteristics were not independent risk factors for stress fracture injury in high-level athletes. This study in a large cohort of high-level athletes provides normative bone and body composition values that can be used as a benchmark for researchers and applied practitioners.
