SUMMARY
This study was performed to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) of
postmenapausal women with osteoporosis (OP). BMD of the spine and whole body were measured by dual
energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Sixty patients diagnosed as postmenaupausal OP according to DEXA
were assigned randomly into two groups. The first group was given to exercise group and the second group
was given to control group. Lomber spine, femoral neck and distal radius BMD were evaluated on the 8 th
week of the therapy.
On the 8 th week exercise group was found significant improvement over control group with respect to lumbar
BMD (p<0.05). But the improvement in femoral neck and distal radius BMD were not significant (p>0.05).
It was concluded that; aerobic exercise is an effective method on lumbar spine BMD and should be
considered exercise programme with medical therapy of postmenaupausal OP.
