Abstract(s)
Exercise plays an important role in maximizing and subsequent reduction of the
maximum rates of bone loss. The purpose of this study was to determine whether 16 weeks of
combined exercise in postmenopausal would affect bone metabolism.
Equipment and methods. — Eleven participants (53.1 [±4.0] years) performed combined training
that consisted of 60—75% of 1 RM, 2—3 sets of 10—15 repetitions in specific machines and
20—30 min of cardiovascular exercises using an step platform (55—80% FCreserve). Cross-linked
N-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (NTX) was used to analyze bone resorption and serum
alkaline phos-phatase (ALP) to analyze bone absorption.
