The Case for Greatness
Effect of physical activity on bone mineral density assessed by limb dominance across the lifespan
Bone mineral density is higher in dominant vs. nondominant limbs, implying that the greater use of dominant limbs in everyday activities results in the deposition of more bone or that the dominant limb is genetically larger. The objective of the present study was to determine whether bone mineral density differences between dominant and nondominant arms were greater in older vs. younger women. To determine whether this was due to a greater lifeti…

Validation of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children
Two studies assessed the validity of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C), a 7-day recall that assesses general moderate to vigorous physical activity levels during the school year. The first study, involving 89 elementary school students in Grades 4–8, investigated convergent, divergent, and construct validity. The PAQ-C was moderately related to an activity rating ( r = .63), week summation of 24-hr moderate to vigorou…
Measuring general levels of physical activity
This article reports three studies that investigated psychometric properties of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C). The PAQ-C is a guided self-administered 7-day recall measure designed to assess general physical activity levels during the school year for children in grades four and higher. Study one, with 215 students ranging in age from 9 to 15 yr, found the PAQ-C had acceptable item and test score characteristics su…
The Effect of Water Fluoridation on the Bone Mineral Density of Young Women
Comparison of bone mineral content and bone mineral density between dominant and nondominant limbs in children 8–16 years of age
The bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and bone free lean tissue (BFLT) of dominant limbs were compared to nondominant values in girls and boys 8–16 years of age (girls, n = 124; boys, n = 110). Results showed that BMC, BMD, and BFLT of the dominant arm was significantly greater than of the nondominant arm ( P P
