Abstract

In this work we theoretically determined the range of the unknown parameter K, presented in Carter’s et., al.,(1987) theory for the case of distance-running.We expressed the density of the distalend of the femur of a distance-runner, in terms of his (her) training history. After that we used some published data and we concluded that 0 < K <0.3206 mg.cm/ N. INTRODUCTION Many years ago Carter et., al., (1987) proposed a theory for inter-nal bone remodeling. The basic idea of this theory was that the ap-parent bone density ρ, is expressed in terms of daily loading histo-ry. The last mathematically is approximated by the following equa-tion:
