Abstract: We investigated the bone mineral density on physical college women athletes and control women group (36 female, mean 19.9±0.9 years old) by dual energy X-ray bone absorptiometry (DXA).Several findings have been obtained as follows.1) In swimming athletes group, their % fat was significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.05).But their total muscle volume was significantly higher than the control group (p < 0.05).The swimmers forearms BMD, 2nd ~ 4th lumbar vertebra (L 2 ~ L 4 ) BMD, L 2 ~ L 4 peak reference (PR) were significantly higher than those in longdistance runners respectively (p < 0.05).2) In long-distance runners group, their % fat was significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.05).And their total muscle volume was significantly lower than that in swimming athletes (p < 0.05).3) In Judo athletes group, total muscle volume, forearms BMD, L 2 ~ L 4 BMD・PR were significantly higher than those in the control group respectively (p < 0.05).And forearms BMD of Judo athletes was significantly higher than those in volleyball and basketball athletes groups respectively (p < 0.05).4) In volleyball and basketball athletes groups, their % fat were significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.05), but their total bone mineral content, total muscle volume, femoral neck BMD, were significantly higher than those in the control group respectively (p < 0.05).In both groups, their legs BMD was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05).The total BMD in basketball athletes group was higher than that in the control group, and its numerical value was the highest of all groups.
