Immediate effects on bone metabolism biomarkers noted with resistance training and walking
Direct effects of physical training on markers of bone metabolism and serum sclerostin concentrations in older adults with low bone mass
BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2016 Jun 8;17(1):254150 women with osteoporosis or osteopenia were randomized to one of three groups; one group underwent a single session of resistance exercises, one group underwent a single session of simply walking, and one group was a control with no intervention. The purpose of this study was to examine and compare pre- and post-intervention serum levels of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and sclerostin between groups. No group demonstrated a significant change in BALP levels. CTX levels were significant increased from pre- to post-intervention in the resistance exercises group, whereas sclerostin levels were significantly increased from pre- to post-intervention in the walking group.
