Abstract

Background: Preventing the bone loss and trying to keep bones healthy at a young age are the best preventive options in order to manage osteoporosis in elderly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of selected Aquatic Aerobic Training on bone formation and density indices in overweight Middle-Aged Men. Methods: In a semi-experimental study, 24 overweight men (BMI≥ 25) with a range of 45 to 55 years old were selected randomly after a public call among 70 subjects. Participants were randomly divided into experimental (n=12) and control (n=12) groups. Training program included selected Aquatic Aerobic Training with 45 to 65 percent of maximum heart rate lasting for 8 weeks. Blood samples were taken before and after exercise to measure serum variables. Results: There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test of femoral Bone Density, Osteocalcin and serum Parathormone in the experimental group (p< 0. 05) while this difference was not significant for the pre and post-test values of these variables in the participants of the control group (p> 0. 05). Also, exercise increases mean of changes in femur Bone Density, Osteocalcin and Parathormone levels significantly in the experimental group in comparison with the control group (p< 0. 05). Conclusion: Auatic aerobic training is recommended for overweight middle-aged individuals to prevent osteoporosis and reduce Bone Density associated with aging.
