Genti Pano, and Blend Hoxholli
ABSTRACT:
Post-menopausal women have a very high risk of suffering from multiple health consequences which significantly affect their lives. The aim of this study was to identify studies focused in the effects of physical activity on bone mass density in post-menopausal women. We searched in “PubMed”, applied filters were: Free full text, Randomized Controlled Trial, in the last 5 years). The study election criteria were: Studies of the last 5 years (2019-2024), Studies that were, free of charge, full text studies, studies that had performed exercise interventions focusing bone mass density, randomized controlled trials. From a total of 39 studies, 7 were selected to be part of this review. In total 693 women from 45-75 years old all diagnosed with osteoporosis were enrolled in these studies. Numerous forms of exercise, including strength/resistance training, aerobic exercise, vibration platforms in conjunction with various exercises, and all possible combinations of exercise regimens, were employed with the goal of enhancing bone mass density and other metrics connected to bones. All reviewed studies demonstrated that one of the most effective and economical ways to address bone mass-related health concerns in postmenopausal women is through regular physical exercise. To determine the most beneficial workout regimen, further research including a larger sample size is necessary.
