Effects of exercise on bone mineral density and bone turnover markers in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of osteoporosis and associated fracture risk increases significantly with age, making it a major global public health concern.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the impact of exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total body in adult women across different age groups, and to further assess the efficacy of different exercise modalities on BMD at these sites. A parallel objective is to investigate the effects of exercise on key bone turnover markers, including the bone formation markers osteocalcin (OC), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), as well as the bone resorption markers C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and tartrate-resistant aci
