Effect of interval training exercises on bone mineral density indices in elderly women
Keywords:
Interval Training, Bone Mineral Density, postmenopausal WomenAbstract
Background: In most situations, postmenopausal osteoporosis is a silent medical condition without significant or apparent symptoms till the existence of a fracture. Purpose: The goal of this study was to see how effective interval aerobic exercise is at improving bone mineral density indices in the cases of elderly women. Materials and methods: The current study is randomized, controlled trial. During 12-weeks of intervention, 40 subjects with age ranging from 60 to 70 years were randomly subdivided into two main groups: the exercise group (n=20) and the control group (n=20). Exercise group performed the interval exercises program which consisted of high intensity interval exercise (70%maxHR) with intensity lower (50% max HR) workloads were interchanged within 2 min, for 30 -40 minutes per session, 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Control Group did not receive any form of physical therapy intervention, but this group was instructed and encouraged to be remaining active. Outcomes: There are some factors to be considered; Bone mineral density (T score from DEXA), vitamin D levels, and Estrogen levels in the body.
