“…This parameter, therefore, appears to be significantly affected by hormonal changes that occur in the climacteric. Ad-SoS decreases sharply during the first year after menopause and then decreases more gradually, as we and others have observed (Camozzi, De Terlizzi, Zangari, & Luisetto, 2007; Guido et al, 2009; Mulder, Michaeli, Flaster, & Siris, 2000; Pedrera-Zamorano et al, 2009).…”

We studied the effects of moderate physical activity on bone mass in healthy postmenopausal women as assessed by quantitative bone ultrasound. We enrolled a total of 326 postmenopausal women (60.95 ± 8.51 years old and 13.02 ± 9.52 years since menopause) and categorized them by weekly physical activity in their leisure time (sedentary, moderate, and active). We administered a questionnaire on general health and diet and measured bone density by ultrasound on phalanges II-V in the nondominant hand. We found no significant difference in the amplitude-dependent speed of sound (Ad-SoS; p > .05) between sedentary and active women. We concluded that the changes induced by moderate physical activity on bone mass are minimal in healthy postmenopausal women.
