Effects of long-term running on spinal mineral content in dogs

K Puustjärvi et al. Calcif Tissue Int. 1991.

Abstract

The effects of long-term running were studied in 20 beagle dogs. Ten dogs ran from the age of 15 weeks to the age of 70 weeks in a progressive program for up to 40 km/day. Ten sister dogs spent the same time in individual cages. At the age of 70 weeks the spines of the dogs were studied with regard to mineral density using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and quantitative computed tomography. Mineral density was lower in the running dogs than in the controls.
