Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise effects on bone mineral density in older adults: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
TL;DR: Consistency among results for low-impact and resistance exercise studies on LS and FN, although non-significant BMD changes were evident amongst these types of protocols at any site and amongst the RCTs that provided a combined loading impact exercise at FN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Training and detraining effects on functional fitness after a multicomponent training in older women.
TL;DR: The negative effects of interrupting exercise on several physical parameters of functional fitness are highlighted, both upper and lower body strength andupper and lower flexibility declined significantly after detraining in the exercise group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of resistance and aerobic exercise on physical function, bone mineral density, OPG and RANKL in older women.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a resistance training protocol and a moderate-impact aerobic training protocol on bone mineral density (BMD), physical ability, serum osteoprotegerin (OPG), and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) levels were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicomponent Training Program with Weight-Bearing Exercises Elicits Favorable Bone Density, Muscle Strength, and Balance Adaptations in Older Women
Elisa A. Marques,Jorge Mota,Leandro Machado,Filipa Sousa,Margarida Coelho,Pedro Moreira,Joana Carvalho +6 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that 8 months of moderate-impact weight-bearing and multicomponent exercises reduces the potential risk factors for falls and related fractures in older women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations between objectively assessed physical activity levels and fitness and self-reported health-related quality of life in community-dwelling older adults.
Flávia Accioly Canuto Wanderley,Gustavo Silva,Elisa A. Marques,José Oliveira,Jorge Mota,Joana Carvalho +5 more
TL;DR: Objectively assessed PA and physical fitness measures were positively associated with physical health HRQoL subscales as reported by community-dwelling older adults.
