This work examines the influence of practicing strength training and Alpine skiing over 2 years on bone mineral density (BMD), growth, body composition, and the strength and power of the legs of adolescent skiers. The study subjects were 20 adolescent skiers (10 girls and 10 boys) and 19 sedentary adolescents (9 girls and 10 boys), all 13-16 years of age. The BMDs of the lumbar column (L2-L4) and hip (neck of the femur, trochanter, and Ward's triangle) were determined by dual x-ray photon absorptiometry at the beginning and end of the experimental period. The increase in height and the percentage fat and muscular masses of the subjects were also recorded, as was their ability to jump (countermovement jump [CMJ]), their leg strength and power (squat test), and their leg anaerobic power (continuous jump test [CMJ15″]). No significant differences were seen in the increase in height, body weight, or percentage fat mass between the skiers and sedentary subjects, although the boy skiers showed a significant increase in percentage muscular mass (p < 0.05) compared to the sedentary boys. The improvement in the values of the different CMJ variables was significantly greater among the boy skiers than among the sedentary boys (p < 0.001-0.01). The same was true for the girls (p < 0.001), except for CMJ15″. The skiers experienced a significantly greater increase in L2-L4 BMD than the sedentary subjects (boys p < 0.05; girls p < 0.01). These results suggest that Alpine skiing combined with rational strength training involves no special risk for the physical development of young people, has a positive effect on the power and the percentage of muscle mass in the legs, and helps to have a higher bone density in the lumbar spine (L2-L4).
