Document Summary
Long term exercise and bone mineral density changes in postmenopausal women . Increasing evidence that pa can prevent fractures in postmenopausal women. Effectivity may decrease over time despite adaptations of the exercise program to subject"s changing bone, health and fitness status. Aim: monitor bmd changes over 16 weeks of supervised fitness. Hypothesis: bmd differences at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, between exercisers and non training controls increased throughout the intervention with significant differences at each 4 year observation period: baseline, 4, 8, 12 and 16 year follow up. Protocol was initially high intensity strategy that addressed bone but shifted to more comprehensive intervention. Pa can reduce overall clinical fracture incidence in post-menopausal women. Dedicated exercise can affect all fracture parameters (fall risk, fall impact and bone strength) Limitations of higher age in frequent check ups. Can an exercise program generate positive effects on bmd even if continuously adapted to the problems and priorities of older age.
