Football for children and young people has been used as a tool to improve health and prevent future diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate, the effect of 2- and 4-month participation in an osteogenic sport such as football on the variables of bone mineral content and bone mineral density in pre-pubertal children. Twenty under-10 children (9.5 ± 1.4 years old) who were doing football training 3 hours a week and were at the Tanner I stage were included. Bone mineral density and bone mineral content values were measured using a dual energy X-ray absorber. The results showed an increase in the values of bone mineral content and total bone mineral density after two months of practice (p<0.05; TE: 0.11 and TE: 0.27 respectively), significantly higher values after four months of practice compared to the initial value and the value after two months (p<0.05; TE: 0.40 and TE: 0.13 respectively). Significant increase in bone mineral content and bone mineral density in the legs after two and four months of practice (p<0.05; TE: 0.43 and TE: 0.40 respectively). Our data suggest that a 2- and 4-month recreational football training programme is beneficial for the osteogenic development and health of children during the pre-pubertal stage.
