Load carriage aerobic exercise stimulates a transient rise in biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption.

ABSTRACT: Exercise can be both anabolic and catabolic for bone tissue. The temporal response of both bone formation and resorption following an acute bout of exercise is not well described. We assayed biochemical markers of bone and calcium metabolism for up to 3 days after military-relevant exercise. In randomized order, male (n = 18) and female (n = 2) Soldiers (means ± SD; 21.2 ± 4.1 years) performed a 60-min bout of load carriage (30% body mass; 22.4 ± 3.7 kg) treadmill exercise (EXER) or a resting control trial (REST). Blood samples were collected following provision of a standardized breakfast before (PRE), after (POST) exercise/rest, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h into recovery. Fasted samples were also collected at 0630 on EXER and REST and for the next three mornings after EXER. Parathyroi
