Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 4 months resistant training and calcium supplementation on bone mineral density and bone metabolism (parathyroid hormone, osteocalcin) in university students. Methods: Thirty-six students (age 21.3±0.9 yrs) were assigned to three groups. Resistant training group included 13 students (Group RT). Resistant training and calcium supplementation included 13 students (Group RTCS) and control group included 10 students (Group C). The subjects of Group RT and RTCS were asked to resistant training. The intensity was ACSM's recommended 12-15RM, 2-3 sets, 2-3 days per week during 4 months. The subjects of Group RTCS were given 1000mg calcium supplementation per day. Group C was asked to maintain their habitual lifestyle throughout the whole period of the study. All subjects underwent the following measurements: bone mineral density (BMD), parathyroid hormone, and osteocalcin were evaluated before and at the end of this study. BMD at L2-4 and femoral neck were measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance (Group×time) with repeated measures to examine any changes after training. The statistical significance was determined at α=0.05. Results: We found that femoral neck BMD was significant improvement between pre-training and post-training in Group RT and RTCS (p< .05). But there was no significant difference (p> .05) in lumbar spine(L2-4) BMD. We also found that PTH and osteocalcin was significant improvement in Group RTCS (p< .05) but not in Group RT and C. Conclusion: We suggest that resistance training and calcium supplementation (Group RTCS) can increase serum parathyroid hormone, osteocalcin and femoral neck BMD but not in lumbar spine BMD. Only resistant training (group RT) can't increase serum osteocalcin. Further studies are required to determine whether different regional BMD increases in resistant training and calcium supplementation for university students. |
