Abstract
- Hip bone mineral density (BMD) and serum markers of bone turnover during drug (antiresorptic medicaments) and non-drug (acceleration training) therapy in elderly women suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis has been investigated. The hip BMD measured in elderly women after a 24-week antiresorptic therapy (alendronate) and increased by 2.01%. 24-week acceleration training resulted in 1.56% benefit in hip BMD and also serum levels of osteocalcin (+50%, p < 0.05) significantly increased in postmenopausal women. We have determined that the osteogenic effect of acceleration training is mediated by stimulated bone formation. Our findings suggest that whole body vibration (acceleration) training may be a beneficial technique to prevent and treat osteoporosis.
