Effects of Physical Exercise to Prevent Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Physical Activity; Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal; Osteoporosis, Osteopenia
• Interventions: Other: osteoporosis specific-oriented training; Other: walking at an intense pace

• Registration Number: NCT03091088
• Lead Sponsor: University of Valencia

Brief 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. 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.
