Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigateto the effect of 12 weeks of resistance circuit-based training on markers of bone metabolic and hormonal in elderly men.30 elderly men with mean and standard deviation of age: 67.63 ± 4.82 years; weight: 75.82 ± 8.89 kg and body mass index: 27.53±3.28 kg/m2 were randomly divided into two groups of combined training and control. The resistance exercise training was performed at 30–55% ofthe one-repetition maximum (1-RM), three times per week for 12-weeks, while the CON group maintained their regular lifestyle. The hormonal and bone metabolic markers including serum 25-(OH) D3,parathyroid hormone (PTH), osteocalcin (OC), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcitonin and calcium were measuredbefore training and after 12weeksexercise intervention. The results of analysis of covariance showed a significant increase in the calcitonin levels (14.80± 2.70) vs. 12.67± 3.75 ml/dl, p = 0.037) and calcium (9.70±0.65 vs. 9.09±0.47 ml/dl, p = 0.006) in the resistance training group compared to the control group showed intervention after 12 weeks.The findings of the present study showed that 12 weeks of resistance circuit-based training led to a significant improvement in some hormonal markers and bone metabolic in the elderly. Further studies with a long-term follow-up should be considered to confirm these findings.
