Bone mineral content determined by energy X-ray absorptiometry correlates with handgrip strength in Latin American divers
Diver workers with greater years of experience exhibit a reduced level of BMC and FFM in the legs compared to peers with less experience, and HGS is associated with BMC. Future longitudinal studies in diver workers could explore BMC and body composition in these populations to confirm our findings and include other physical fitness parameters in different diving specialties.
