摘要
Physical exercise is known to increase bone mass in men, whereas the effect is less predictable in women. In this cross-sectional report, effects of physical activity on women aged 38-64 years are studied. Bone mass and muscle strength were compared between 30 regularly exercising women jogging only once a week for at least three years and an equal number of controls matched for age. BMC of the distal third of the radius was significantly higher in the active women. The active women over age 50 also had higher trabecular bone mass in the distal end of the radius. Quadriceps strength and balance were also found to be better in the activity group. Active women had a different lifestyle than the non-active women, with less consumption of alcohol, oestrogens, and tobacco. This report supports the hypothesis that regular moderate physical activity might reduce bone loss in women.
