Study objective: the main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of aerobic exercise on bone health through measuring serum trace elements and bone metabolism markers.
Methods and subjects: prospective interventional study was conducted at rheumatoid clinics in Royal Medical Services, Jordan. A total of 117 participants were included of whom 52 participants were males and 65 were females.Participants were assigned into three groups: control group (N=35), osteopenic group (N=45), and osteoporotic group (N=37).A standard aerobic exercise protocol was followed for 12 weeks.Endurance exercise protocol involved three sessions weekly for 60 min each. At basal level and after the experiment, the following parameters were assessed: BMI, BAP, T-score, BMD and calcium. The analysis of data was carried out using SPSS version 21. The difference in means was computed based on T-test. Significance was considered at p<0.05.
Results: aerobic training exercise improved the levels of all parameters in all groups for both sexes significantly including BMI, BAP, T-score, BMD, and calcium (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Aerobic training exercise improves bone health and restores the hemostasis of bone tissue through restoring bone biomarkers including BAP and calcium.
