A systematic review of the exercise effect on bone health: The importance of assessing mechanical loading in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women
Menopause Oct 01, 2017
Sanudo B, et al. - Here, researchers ascertain the general impacts of exercise on areal bone mineral density (BMD) in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women and aim to provide data on the most suitable bone-loading exercise regimens that may improve bone health in this population group. While training impacts must be interpreted with caution due to the heterogeneity of the protocols and exercises performed, this systematic review affirmed the efficacy of exercises combined with other forms of training (vibration or strength training) to preserve BMD in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Despite the results possibly not representing a general dose-response relationship, they highlight the significance of quantifying loading intensity and frequency by means of accelerometry as these parameters are determinants for bone adaptation.
