Osteoporosis weakens bones with age, increasing fracture risk. Exercise improves physical function and reduces falls, crucial for preventing osteoporotic fractures, especially with balance, resistance, and multi-component training. Agility exercise, integrating various aspects like aerobic, strength, balance, and cognitive tasks, is promising for fall prevention in older adults, though its effectiveness in osteoporosis is not extensively studied.
This study compares agility and resistance exercise impacts on physical function and balance stability in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Fifty-one women (average age: 68±6.3y, BMI: 22.3±2.7 kg/m2) were divided into agility exercise (AG), resistance exercise (RG), and control groups (CG) through purposive sampling. AG and RG received added intervention training once a week for 2 hours over 12 weeks. Main outcomes included physical function and balance stability measured through various tests.
Main activities of agility training group (AG): Use rope ladders and cones to perform multiple tasks of direction changes, acceleration and deceleration of footsteps, hand and foot coordination and spatial orientation training.
Main activities of resistance training group (AG): Resistance training for upper and lower limb muscles and core muscles, including squats, use of elastic bands, and simple bars.
