Trial summary

According to the World Health Organization criteria, osteoporosis was defined as a bone mineral density that lies 2.5 standard deviations or more below the average value for young healthy women. Osteoporosis is a major cause of fractures and can lead to serious complications in postmenopausal women. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efecto de Dos Tipos de Ejercicio físico Para Prevenir la Osteoporosis en Mujeres Postmenopausicas, un Ensayo Clinico Aleatorizado

According to the World Health Organization criteria, osteoporosis was defined as a bone mineral density that lies 2.5 standard deviations or more below the average value for young healthy women. Osteoporosis is a major cause of fractures and can lead to serious complications in postmenopausal women. For this reason, approaches to prevent the appearance and progression of osteoporosis are of primary importance. This randomized clinical trial analyzes the effects of two types of physical exercise oriented to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with pharmacological supplements of Calcium and Vitamin-D.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • walking at an intense paceOther

    Participants walk 6 kilometers in 1 hour at least 3 times per week

  • osteoporosis specific-oriented trainingOther

    1 hour of physical activity, 2 times per week, based on the Asociación Española con la Osteoporosis y la Artrosis (AECOS) recommendations. Sessions are divided in 15 minutes of warmup (8 to 10, 60-second exercises), 30-35 minutes of combined exercises with loads and weights, as well as high intensity exercises, and 10-15 minutes of cooldown activities (based on Frederick relaxation techniques)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Femoral neck T-score

    The score compares femoral neck bone mineral density to a reference mean

    Measured: Change from baseline score at two years

  2. Lumbar spine T-score

    The score compares lumbar spine bone mineral density to a reference mean

    Measured: Change from baseline score at two years
