Mechanical stress and strain generated by physical exercises or the other passive stimulations are well known to have a positive effect on the growing musculoskeletal system. Especially, when the impact stimulation which evokes high magnitude of strain in a second is applied to bone, it improves bone qualities. Thus, to verify the effect of impact stimulation, we conducted longitudinal study on morphological properties of the tibia in growing rats. Free falls from designated h...
