Bone mineral density in pre-professional ballet dancers

In the first of this month’s feature articles, Wewege and Ward report the results of a systematic review of bone mineral density in pre-professional female ballet dancers concerningly suggesting reduced upper limb bone densities compared to controls. In the second article Zhu and colleagues suggest that sit/stand work stations can reduce overall sitting times in a real-world environment. In the third feature article, Cobley’s group outline the impact of relative age on performance advantage in national level Australian swimmers.
