The effects of strengthening and high-impact exercises on bone metabolism and quality of life in postmenopausal women: A randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Our data suggest that 6-month supervised high-impact exercise training can be effective in prevention of bone loss at lumbar spine and femoral neck. These data also indicate that both supervised training programs improve HRQoL in postmenopausal women.

Physical exercise and osteoporosis: effects of different types of exercises on bone and physical function of postmenopausal women

“…Basat and cols. (12), studied 42 postmenopausal women allocated to three groups receiving strengthening exercise, high-impact exercise or no exercise (control). After 6 months there was a significant increase in the BMD at the lumbar spine (p = 0.017) and femoral neck (p = 0.013) in the high-impact group compared to the strengthening and control groups.…”

Efficacy of mind–body therapies and exercise‐based interventions on menopausal‐related outcomes among Asian perimenopause women: A systematic review, meta‐analysis, and synthesis without a meta‐analysis

“…Among the 23 included studies, six studies were conducted in Iran (Abedi, Nikkhah, & Najar, ; Asghari, Mirghafourvand, Mohammad‐Alizadeh‐Charandabi, Malakouti, & Nedjat, ; Bakhtiari et al, ; Darsareh, Taavoni, Joolaee, & Haghani, ; Kazemzadeh, Nikjou, Rostamnegad, & Norouzi, ; Taavoni, Darsareh, Joolaee, & Haghani, ), five studies were conducted in India (Chattha, Nagarathna, Padmalatha, & Nagendra, ; Jayabharathi & Judie, ; Joshi, Khandwe, Bapat, & Deshmukh, ; Sujithra, ; Vora & Dangi, ), three in Turkey (Angin, Erden, & Can, ; Basat, Esmaeilzadeh, & Eskiyurt, ; Teoman et al, ), three in China (Gao, Zhang, Qi, & Petridis, ; Hu et al, ; Zhang et al, ), three in Japan (Iioka & Komatsu, ; Kai, Nagamatsu, Kitabatake, & Sensui, ; Ueda, ), one in South Korea (Hur, Yang, & Lee, ), one in Thailand (Ngowsiri, Tanmahasamut, & Sukonthasab, ), and one in Taiwan (Yeh & Chang, ).…”

“…Vora and Dangi's study () had the smallest sample size ( N = 30), while Jayabharathi and Judie's () study had the largest sample size ( N = 254). Nine studies examined exercise‐based interventions that comprised one of the following exercise: aerobic (Asghari et al, ; Zhang et al, ), strengthening/high impact (Basat et al, ; Teoman et al, ), walking (Abedi et al, ), Pilates (Angin et al, ), square dance (Gao et al, ), stretching (Kai et al, ), or Rusie Dutton Thai (Ngowsiri et al, ). Five studies (Bakhtiari et al, ; Darsareh et al, ; Hur et al, ; Kazemzadeh et al, ; Taavoni et al, ) tested the effectiveness of aromatherapy, four studies had yoga as their interventions (Chattha et al, ; Jayabharathi & Judie, ; Joshi et al, ; Vora & Dangi, ), three studies involved multi‐modal interventions (education and exercise‐based) (Hu et al, ; Iioka & Komatsu, ; Ueda, ), one study involved autogenic relaxation (Sujithra, ), and one study involved qigong as their intervention (Yeh & Chang, ).…”

One study (Basat et al, ) had two intervention groups: strengthening exercise and high‐impact exercise. Therefore, the meta‐analyses included 23 studies with 24 interventions.…”
