Figure 1 Adjusted areal bone mineral density gain at various bone sites at 1 year. Variation in areal bone mineral density (aBMD, g/cm2) adjusted for age, fat mass, and lean mass at 1 year in a subgroup of adolescents: 10 swimmers with high testosterone levels (HSW; T ≥0.5 ng/mL), 7 swimmers with normal testosterone levels (NSW; T <0.5 ng/mL), and 8 control subjects. Values are presented as mean ± SEM. ∗P=.06; ∗∗P=.07.
