Strength training increases regional bone mineral density and bone remodeling in middle-aged and older men

Abstract: To determine the effects of strength training (ST) on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone remodeling, 18 previously inactive untrained males [mean age 59 +/- 2 (SE) yr] were studied before and after 16 wk of either ST (n = 11) or no exercise (inactive controls; n = 7). Total, spinal (L2-L4), and femoral neck BMD were measured in nine training and seven control subjects before and after the experimental period. Serum concentrations of osteocalcin, skeletal alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme, and tartrate-resistant … Show more

“…Among these studies, a few use the strength training, trying to increase the BMD in individuals submitted to that type of physical activity (7,13,14,17) . In general, the same studies have shown positive results related to the BMD (8,15,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) . Nevertheless, despite this possible benefic effect, quite large training volumes may cause a damage on the BMD, and it seems that such damage is closely related to the disturbance in the hormonal homeostasis of the organism (5,6,24) .…”

“…According to Brighton et al apud Menkes et al (18) , a possible justification for the increase in the BMD to the strength training is the bone piezoelectric effect. This is suggested by the presence of biochemical signals that seem to reflect an electric field possibly as consequence for the applied overload.…”

“…Menkes et al 37 (1993) analisaram os efeitos do treinamento de força sobre a densidade mineral óssea (DMO) e sobre o remodelamento ósseo em 18 homens sedentários de meia idade. Os voluntários foram divididos em dois grupos: o grupo de treinamento e o grupo controle (inativos).…”
