Completed
Conditions
Osteoporosis
Exercise Overtraining
Vitamin D 25-Hydroxylase Deficiency
Registration Number
NCT06624657
Lead Sponsor
King Saud University
Brief Summary

The effects of 16-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and vitamin D supplements on bone mineral density (BMD) in women with osteoporosis. The participants assigned for HITT exercise training with or without vitamin D supplements for 16 weeks, and the levels of serum bone parameters like, Osteocalcin (OC), Ca, and s-BAP were estimated in women with osteoporosis at baseline and after post-training interventions. In addition, the levels of Vitamin D were also identified in all women's accordingly.

Detailed Description

our study aimed to investigate the effects of 16-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and vitamin D supplements on bone mineral density (BMD) in women with osteoporosis. thus, Serum levels of 25-Hydroxy-vitamin D (OH-D), Osteocalcin (OC), Ca, and s-BAP were estimated in women with osteoporosis at baseline and after post-training interventions. One-hundred twenty sedentary women aged (30-50 years) were diagnosed with osteoporosis. Patients were classified into four groups, 30 patients in each group; Control group (normal daily activities); Exercise group (HIIT-exercise for 16 weeks); Vitamin D group (vitamin D 800IU/ day for 16 weeks), and Concurrent group (HIIT exercise plus vitamin D for 16 weeks). Anthropometric measurements, BMD, serum levels of vitamin 25-(OH) D, Osteocalcin, s-BAP, and calcium were estimated in all participants' pre- and post-exercise training.
