Table 3. Adjusted mean (±SE) bone mineral content values for rhythmic gymnasts and untrained controls at the first testing occasion (covariates: age, height, body mass, RBJ15s).

	Rhythmic Gymnasts (n = 45)	Untrained Controls (n = 44)
WB BMC (g)	1010.3±12.9	942.9 ± 12.9*
FN BMC (g)	2.9 ± 0.1	2.7 ± 0.1*
LS BMC (g)	17.7 ± 0.4	15.9 ± 0.4*

WB, whole body; FN, femoral neck; LS, lumbar spine; BMC, bone mineral content.* Significantly different between groups; p < 0.05.
