The effects of continuous, intermittent and mode of exercise on mechanical bone remodelling (2017)
Thesis
Montgomery, G. J. H. (2017). The effects of continuous, intermittent and mode of exercise on mechanical bone remodelling. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221025

Bone health is known to deteriorate with age, which can increase the risk of osteoporotic fractures and subsequently all-cause mortality. Current life expectancies are higher than ever before and with our ageing population, osteoporosis and low bone...

Mathematical modelling of bone remodelling at the cellular level and the interaction between myeloma cells and the bone microenvironment (2012)
Thesis
Ji, B. (. (2012). Mathematical modelling of bone remodelling at the cellular level and the interaction between myeloma cells and the bone microenvironment. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4213597

After an initial phase of growth and development, bone undergoes a continuous cycle of repair, renewal and optimization, by a process termed remodelling. Bone remodelling is the coordinated processes of resorption by osteoclasts and formation by oste...
