Abstract

The main aim of the current study was to explore the effects of a 1-year recreational Kung Fu protocol on bone health parameters (bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), femoral neck geometry and composite indices of femoral neck strength) in a group of healthy inactive young men. 54 young inactive men voluntarily participated in this study, but only 51 of them completed it. The participants were assigned to 2 different groups: control group (n=31) and Kung Fu group (n=20). The Kung Fu group performed two sessions of recreational Kung Fu per week; the duration of each session was 45 minutes. The current study has demonstrated that whole body (WB) BMC, ultra-distal (UD) radius BMD, 1/3 radius BMD, total radius BMD, total forearm BMD, maximal strength, maximum oxygen consumption and jumping performance increased in the Kung Fu group but not in the control group. The percentages of variations in WB BMC, forearm BMD and physical performance parameters were significantly different between the two groups. In conclusion, this study suggests that recreational Kung Fu is an effective method to improve WB BMC, forearm BMD and physical performance parameters in young inactive men.

1年娱乐性功夫方案对一组健康无运动年轻男性骨骼健康参数的影响

本研究的主要目的是探讨一年娱乐功夫方案对一组健康、不活跃的年轻男性骨骼健康参数（骨矿物质含量（BMC）、骨矿物质密度（BMD）、股骨颈几何形状和股骨颈强度综合指数）的影响。54名不活跃的年轻男性自愿参与了这项研究，但其中只有51人完成了这项工作。参与者被分为两组：对照组（n=31）和功夫组（n=20）。功夫组每周表演两次娱乐功夫；每次会话的持续时间为45分钟。目前的研究表明，功夫组的全身（WB）BMC、桡骨超远端（UD）BMD、1/3桡骨BMD、桡骨总BMD、前臂总骨密度、最大力量、最大耗氧量和跳跃性能有所提高，而对照组则没有。WB BMC、前臂BMD和身体性能参数的变化百分比在两组之间有显著差异。总之，本研究表明，娱乐功夫是改善年轻不活跃男性WB BMC、前臂BMD和身体性能参数的有效方法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
