Bone health in young female runners
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how running affects bone health in young women. If you're a premenopausal woman who runs regularly, researchers want to understand your bone metabolism better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 30 years old.
- You regularly run or do running sports (like track or triathlon) for 3–12 hours per week.
- You have regular periods (every month) OR have been on monophasic birth control pills for at least 6 months.

This study looks at how eating habits and activity levels affect menstrual health in women ages 16-30 who exercise at least twice a week. It aims to see if nutrition knowledge and behaviors relate to menstrual function.
This study looks at how a woman’s natural (endogenous) sex hormones affect the body’s response to downhill running. You may be able to help researchers understand what changes with exercise depending on menstrual cycle patterns.
This study looks at how an exercise program done in low-oxygen (hypoxia) conditions affects bone health and metabolism in premenopausal women. It could help if you're interested in improving your bone density naturally.
This study looks back at medical records of young women who had no menstrual period for at least 6 months. The goal is to understand how their bone density changed and what factors might have affected it.
This study looks at how signals from muscles affect bone health in women of different ages. It aims to understand why bone density changes over time.
This study looks at how different types of exercise—like fast running or cycling (aerobic) and short, intense bursts (anaerobic)—affect your body's hormone levels, specifically thyroid hormones and cortisol. You'll do both types of exercise during the study, and we'll take small blood samples to see how your body responds. This could help us understand how fitness affects your hormones and overall health.
