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.engExerciseBone formation markerPost-menopausal womenjournal article10.1016/j.scispo.2016.03.003
