Purpose - The aim of this study was to examine the effect of high - impacts exercises program based on weightbearing and strengthening exercises in improve bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis.Material and Methods – This study included 46 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia whose diagnoses were made by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) showing T-scores of less than -2.5 and in a range of -1 to -2.5, respectively, aged between 43 and 65 years. Subjects were divided into two groups, the experimental group (N=23) and the control group (N=23).The experimental group followed a multiple therapy based on medication, a diet and exercises program (high - impacts exercises), while the control group was submitted only to diet and medication. Areal bone mineral density (BMD) and T-score was measured on the lumbar spine (L1–L4) with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry– DEXA ( Osteocore Medilink) at baseline and after 12 months of exercise.Results - After 12 months of high-impact exercise intervention, both groups exhibited significant improvements in T-score (-0,79 vs -0,42 mean variation), and bone mineral density in lumbar spine (0,091g/cm2 vs 0,042g/cm2 ; p<0.001). But, the exercise group demonstrated a significant gain compared with the control group in T- score(30,3% vs 21,83%;) and Spine BMD (12,56% vs 6,25%).In terms of changes after the treatment, a significant difference between the two groups was observed (p<0.001). The two groups differ significantly with respect to the differences between the mean (-1,84 vs -2,19; p<0.001 for T score and 0,816 vs 0,748; p<0.001) improvements obtained after the exercise program.Conclusion - This study indicates that high-impact exercise is safe and effective in improving bone mineral density in the lumbar spine in postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis. If done on a regular basis, this type of training may be an efficient, safe, and inexpensive way of preventing osteoporosis later in life. |
