This study examined one\u2010year differences in bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone area (BA) between male children engaged in regular handball practice and age\u2010matched controls. This non\u2010randomized longitudinal study included 72 healthy male children aged 10\u201312\u2009years: handball group (HG,\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200936) and control group (CG,\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200936). Whole\u2010body and regional bone outcomes were assessed using dual\u2010energy X\u2010ray absorptiometry. Between\u2010group differences at follow\u2010up were evaluated using ANCOVA, while longitudinal changes were examined using linear mixed\u2010effects models. Handball players exhibited greater adjusted BMD at follow\u2010up than controls, with the largest effect at the lumbar spine (adjusted mean difference\u2009=\u20090.034\u2009g\/cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ; 95% CI: 0.012\u20130.056;\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b7<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>\n                      <jats:italic>2<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:sup>\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.14). Higher BMD was also observed at the whole body, total hip, lower limbs, femoral neck, and selected upper\u2010limb sites. Adjusted BMC was greater at the lumbar spine, total hip, lower limbs, and selected radial regions. Increases in lean mass were positively associated with BMD gains at the whole body, hip, and femoral neck, whereas associations with BMC were more localized and those with BA were limited. These findings suggest that handball participation is associated with greater skeletal mineral accrual during growth.\n
