The Effect of Body Pump Training on Bone Mineral Density and Balance in Postmenopausal Women

Authors

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction and aim: Studies has shown that increases bone mineral density (BMD) loss after menopause in women; On the other hand, physical activity is an important factor in preventing osteoporosis and fractures associated with it. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of 6 months low-load very high-repetition resistance training (body pump) on BMD­ and balance in postmenopausal women. Methodology: 22 postmenopausal women volunteer were randomly divided into resistance training (n=12) and control (n=10). The resistance training group performed 3 weekly sessions for 6 months. No regular training program was assigned for control group during the research period. Bone scans (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) were performed at baseline and after 6 month of training. Also, the balance index was assessed using the Stork Balance Stand Test. Findings: After 6 months, BMD in the lumbar spine (p=0.001) and balance (p=0.001) significantly increased in the resistance training group. In addition, there was significant differences in BMD of lumbar spine between the resistance training group and control group (the lumbar spine: (p=0.04), balance (p=0.001)). But after 6 months, there weren't any significant changes in femoral neck (p=0.1 and forearm (p=0.2). Conclusion: Six months, low-load very high-repetition resistance training lead to increase the bone density of the lumbar spine while these changes do not occur at the femoral neck and forearm. It seems to be the highest impact on BMD of lumbar spine.

age, weight and body mass index effect on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women

conclusions the findings indicated that older women with low bmi were at higher risk of low bone mass. body weight, bmi and aging may be important predictors of bmd, but they are not the only factors affecting bone loss. therefore, it is recommended to assess other risk factors with a larger number of patients. results the mean bmd of women older than 50 years compared to those younger than 50 ...

Effects of Whole Body Vibration and Resistance Training on Bone Mineral Density and Anthropometry in Obese Postmenopausal Women

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of two exercise programs, whole body vibration and resistance training on bone mineral density (BMD) and anthropometry in obese postmenopausal women. Material and Methods. Eighty Egyptian obese postmenopausal women were enrolled in this study; their age ranged from 50 to 68 years. Their body mass index ranged (30-36 kg/m(2)). The exerc...

Influence of basal energy expenditure and body composition on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of body mass index, body weight, lean mass, fat mass, and basal energy expenditure on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. METHODS This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study of a sample of 50 women, with minimum time since menopause between 1 and 10 years. Bone mineral density was assessed at the lumbar spine (L2-L4...
