Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of moderate-intensity aerobic training on lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) and serum levels of calcium and phosphorus in sedentary postmenopausal women. The statistical population was all healthy and sedentary postmenopausal women, 55–70 years old, in Urmia city. Therefore, 20 healthy, sedentary postmenopausal women (age: 60.12 ± 2.12, height: 156.71 ± 6.17 cm, weight: 72.47 ± 10.28 kg, and BMI: 29.46 ± 3.24 kg/m²) volunteered for this study and, after being assessed for eligibility, were randomly divided into exercise (n=11) and control (n=9) groups. The exercise group performed a 12-week moderate-intensity aerobic training of walking and jogging modality at 65–70% maximal heart rate, three days a week, 50–60 min per session in the morning. The Control group participated in no intervention. Densitometry and blood sampling were performed at baseline and post-training in order to measure bone density and serum markers in the exercise and control groups. Evaluation of the lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD were measured by DXA machine and serum levels of calcium and phosphorus were assessed by Auto analyzer and Biotechnical Instrument, Italy, respectively. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential (ANCOVA test) statistics using SPSS 23, and the significance level was set at P ≥0.05. The results showed no significant difference on lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD and T Scores between exercise and control groups after the training program (P>0.05). Also, no significant difference was found in serum levels of calcium and phosphorus (P>0.05). Furthermore, the inter-group results showed no significant difference in any of the variables (P>0.05). The results suggest that 12 weeks of moderate-intensity training such as walking and jogging program has no effect on bone density and serum levels of calcium and phosphorus in postmenopausal women.
