Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of our research was to define both in vivo and in vitro whether and to what extent an high-impact exercise program would affect bone cell turnover and improve the QoL in osteopenic postmenopausal women.


Description:

Subjects were selected among those attending the "Bone and Mineral Metabolism Disorders" Clinic of Perugia University, Italy, since May 2nd 2015 and January 31st 2016. A total of 33 post-menopausal women volunteered to participate in the study.

Gender Female
Age group 52 Years to 70 Years
Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

- postmenopausal

- bone mineral density T-score less than -1 but more than -2.5 in the total hip or lumbar spine (L1-L4) by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry

- be able to attend an exercise program 2 times per week over the 3-month period

- co-morbidities that would interfere with participation in exercise such as severe heart or pulmonary disease, inflammatory joint disease, severe osteoarthritis, psychiatric condition

- physical or orthopaedic disabilities that would place the subject at risk or limit their ability to perform exercise

- a past vertebral fracture

- history of chronic diseases, such as renal, hepatic, cardiac, and rheumatic diseases

- current or prior use of drugs that could interfere with bone mass (i.e. glucocorticoids, antiresorptive drugs and hormonal replacement therapy)
