The Hyperthrophy Of The Tibia Induced By The Volley-Ball .

Abstract

In this work we studied the internal remodeling of the tibia, induced by the volleyball. It is shown that after a long time, the tibia of the athlete will be stren-gthened, that is it will be more stiff and less porous. The result is theoretical, based on a proposed theory of internal bone remodeling (Hegedus and Cowin, 1976) and comes in accordance with several clinical findings (Fehling et., al.,1995; Calbet et., al., 1999; Rittweger et., al.,2000; Ito et., al.,2001).In their studies, as the bone mineral den-sity (BMD) as the muscle strength indices (MBSI) of the tibia of the volleyball pla-yers were evaluated and they were significant higher, than the corresponding clini-cal findings of the normally active control subjects.
