    Box plot (median, quartiles, minimum, maximum) of IQ test scores by test used (Pinter Cunningham A (N = 22), Pinter Durost A(N = 29), Otis Intermedio (N = 35), Pinter General Intermedio (N = 28), and Otis Superior (N = 34).</p

    IQ Z-scores by age, each line represents an individual. Data to age 17 years comes from the five cognitive tests administered as part of the UVG longitudinal study. Older age data come from the two-minute fluid intelligence test. Raw scores were converted to Z-scores using the sample standard deviations.</p

    High-impact jumping mitigates the short-term effects of low energy availability on bone resorption but not formation in regularly menstruating females: A randomized control trial

    Low energy availability (LEA) is prevalent in active individuals and negatively impacts bone turnover in young females. High-impact exercise can promote bone health in an energy efficient manner and may benefit bone during periods of LEA. Nineteen regularly menstruating females (aged 18–31 years) participated in two three-day conditions providing 15 (LEA) and 45kcalskg fat-free mass−1day−1 (BAL) of energy availability, each beginning 3±1days following the self-reported onset of menses. Participants either did (LEA+J, n=10) or did not (LEA, n=9) perform 20 high-impact jumps twice per day during LEA, with P1NP, β-CTx (cir?culating biomarkers of bone formation and resorption, respectively) and other markers of LEA measured pre and post in a resting and fasted state. Data are presented as estimated marginal mean±95% CI. P1NP was significantly reduced in LEA (71.8±6.1–60.4±6.2ngmL−1, p0.999, d=0.19), and these effects were significantly different (time by condition interaction: p=0.007). Morning basal bone formation rate isreduced following 3days LEA, induced via dietary restriction, with or without high-impact jumping in regularly menstruating young females. However, high-impact jumping can prevent an increase in morning basal bone resorption rate and may benefit long-term bone health in individuals repeatedly exposed to such bouts.</p
