The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of aqua fitness training in deep water on bone tissue. The study was performed with 18 postmenopausal women separated into two groups: training and control groups. Before and after the training program, the hip and spine areal bone mineral density were measured along with the biochemical parameters of serum concentration of osteocalcin (OC) and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX). The most significant effect was found in differences between the two groups of women in terms of femur strength index ( < 0.05) during the period of the training program. The study demonstrated that an aqua fitness training program caused favorable changes in femur strength index in postmenopausal women, and this kind of exercise could be a useful form of physical activity for postmenopausal women.
本研究旨在分析深水中的水上健身训练对骨骼组织的影响。研究对象为 18 名绝经后妇女,分为训练组和对照组。在训练计划前后,测量了髋部和脊柱的面积骨矿物质密度以及血清骨钙素(OC)和 I 型胶原 C 端肽(CTX)浓度的生化参数。在训练计划期间,发现两组女性的股骨强度指数之间存在显著差异(<0.05)。研究表明,水上健身训练计划可使绝经后妇女的股骨强度指数发生有利变化,这种运动可以成为绝经后妇女进行身体活动的一种有益形式。
