    Muscle function and bone strength were assessed using mechanography. This includes a mechanographic record of jumping movements on a specially designed springboard. Relevant functional parameters such as strength and spot force are measured to determine coordination, muscle function and muscle-bone relationship.

    A cordblood sample consists of taking an amount of a person's blood from their umbilical cord. The umbilical cord is the rope-like structure that connects a mother to her unborn baby. After the cord is cut, a health care provider will use a tool called a clamp to stop the cord from bleeding. The provider will then use a needle to withdraw blood from the...

    Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries as the heart pumps blood around the body. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart contracts and pushes blood out and diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart relaxes and fills with blood. In adults, the systolic pressure normally ranges between 80 and 120 and the...
