Effectiveness of resistance training or jumping-exercise to increase bone mineral density in men with low bone mass: A 12-month randomized, clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine the effects of 12 mo of resistance training (RT, 2×/wk, N=19) or jump training (JUMP, 3×/wk, N=19) on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers (BTM) in physically active (≥ 4h/wk) men (mean age: 44 ± 2 y; median: 44 y) with osteopenia of the hip or spine.

Methods

Participants rated pain and fatigue following each RT or JUMP session. All participants received supplemental calcium (1200 mg/d) and vitamin D (10 μg/d). BMD was measured at 0, 6, and 12 mo using DXA scans of the whole body (WB), total hip (TH) and lumbar spine (LS). BTM and 25 OHD were measured by ELISA. The effects of RT or JUMP on BMD and BTM were evaluated using 3x2 repeated measures ANOVA (time, group). This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and w
