Correlation between impact exercise at different time intervals and 12-month aBMD changes in proximal femur. Pearson's correlation coefficients (r) between the impact exercise at different acceleration levels in 0-3, 0-6 and 0-12 months, and yearly aBMD changes A) in the femoral neck, and B) trochanter. N = 34 (DXA data was missing from one subject), g = acceleration of gravity (9.81 m·s-2), * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 after Benjamini-Hochberg corrections, (*) the association did not remain significant after adjustment for impacts at later months in multivariate analysis.
