Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine whether race day @entity701 was related to @entity79 ( @entity79 ) in competitive male cyclists. A secondary purpose was to determine additional factors associated with @entity79 in competitive male cyclists. Methods. Measurements of lumbar spine and hip @entity79 were performed in 35 male competitors in a state championship cycling time trial event. Salivary @entity701 was measured 10 minutes prior to the start of the race and 5 minutes after race finished. @entity1 reported daily @entity460 intake, age, years of bike training, races per season, and average weekly minutes spent riding a bike, weight training, and running on a survey. Results. @entity701 level increased significantly from pre- to postcompetition but was not significantly associated with @entity79 . Increased weekly minutes of weight training was associated with higher @entity79 of the lumbar spine and the hip. The increased number of years of cycling experience was associated with lower @entity79 . Increased daily @entity460 intake was associated with higher @entity79 of the lumbar spine and femoral neck. Conclusions. Findings indicate that cyclists should participate in weight training and increase @entity460 intake in order to increase or maintain @entity79 of the lumbar spine and hip.
