| Abstract | ||||
| Aging is associated with physical impairment characterized by deterioration of bone mass and bone decalcification. physical activity helps prevent osteoporosis and Some forms of exercise may cause more profound effects on bone than others. Aim of work was to examine the acute response of bone markers post-exercise to pre-exercise and chronic response (adaptation) to training program for two separate groups of adult females subjected to either walking or aquatic training programs with weights. 20 adult sedentary females participated in either aquatic or walking training programs for three months, subdivided and subjected to a graded training program for three months in a legal basin or field track. There were significant variations in all physical parameters after program compared to that obtained before program in either both groups. Biochemical parameters of both bone synthesis and resorption parameters were elevated after effort in both groups (TRAP b5 and CICP). Osteoprotegerin was elevated in the resistance group only after the program after effort but not before program. It is concluded that a combination of regular recreational walking and/or swimming (both at the same intensity) are important to improve strength and flexibility and most of bone and muscle preservative criteria for most people. | ||||
