The specific aims of the study were to 1) determine what effects dose-dependent rope jumping had on os calcis stiffness index (OCSI) and 2) determine whether OCSI values measured by quantitative ultrasound (QUS) were dependent or independent of the values of bone mineral content (BMC) determined by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the lumbar spine and proximal femur (femoral neck; greater trochanter).
