Summary: Physical training has little to no effect on whole body bone mineral density (WB BMD) in individuals with overweight/obesity. Currently, there is insufficient evidence to recommend any specific type of exercise for enhancing bone health in overweight/obese individuals.

Summary: Higher training frequency of at least 2 sessions per week significantly improves lumbar spine bone mineral density, while the effect on hip bone mineral density is less pronounced. Study duration and exercise type are important factors influencing the impact of training frequency on bone density.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the effects of different resistance training protocols on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. The results showed that moderate intensity resistance training for 3 days/week can significantly improve lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density. The effect on total hip bone mineral density and trochanter bone mineral density is uncertain. It is recommended clinically to recommend 3 days/week of moderate intensity resistance training for postmenopausal women to improve bone mineral density, and the duration of training should not exceed 1 year.

Summary: The combination of exercise and weight-loss diets does not significantly impact bone density, but resistance exercise during a low-calorie diet can have a positive effect on bone density. Further clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study compared and evaluated the efficacy of aerobic and resistance training of different intensities and cycles on motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. It found that short-term high-intensity resistance training may be used as complementary therapy for patients with mild to moderate symptoms, and aerobic or resistance training of varying intensity and periodicity may be recommended as exercise prescription for Parkinson's disease patients. However, more large-scale and high-quality clinical trials are still needed to confirm the effectiveness of this exercise therapy.

Summary: This review examined the effects of bisphosphonates on bone density, fractures, and bone markers in osteopenic older women. The study found that bisphosphonates had significant positive effects on bone density and bone markers, as well as reducing the risk of fractures. However, further research is needed to determine their safety.

Summary: This study aims to analyze the effects of different exercise doses on lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) in individuals with osteoporosis. A systematic review was conducted, and 32 studies involving 2005 participants were included in the analysis. The results suggest that exercise interventions with high adherence to ACSM recommendations are more effective in improving BMD compared to interventions with low or uncertain adherence.

Summary: Concurrent aerobic and strength training may have a small negative effect on fiber hypertrophy compared with strength training alone. The interference effect may be more pronounced when aerobic training is performed by running compared with cycling, at least for type I fibers.

Summary: The study systematically reviewed and compared different exercise interventions on bone mineral density in patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia. The findings indicated that mind-body exercise was most effective in increasing BMD in the lumbar spine and femoral neck, while resistance exercise showed promising results for total hip BMD.

Summary: In this study, interval exercise training in dogs led to increased bone mineral density (BMD) in the femur and higher levels of serum total alkaline phosphatase (TALP), aspartate aminotransferase, and creatine kinase. The positive relationship between BMD and TALP suggests that increased TALP levels may play a role in enhancing BMD with exercise in dogs.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that high-load resistance training can effectively increase bone mineral density in patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia, especially in the lumbar spine. Subgroup analysis confirmed the robustness of the results in the lumbar spine but identified total sessions and a high risk of bias as factors of heterogeneity in the femoral neck and total hip. The funnel plot showed asymmetry in all measurement sites, suggesting potential publication bias.

Summary: The study found that individuals with Down syndrome have significantly lower bone mineral density in total body and different regions (hip, lumbar spine, and femoral neck) compared to controls. It also showed a decreasing trend in lumbar spine volumetric bone mineral density and an elevated femoral neck volumetric bone mineral density in Down syndrome individuals versus controls.

Summary: Older men with sarcopenia showed significant improvements in muscle mass index and hip/leg-extensor strength after 18 months of high intensity resistance exercise, even after detraining for 6 months. While other outcomes decreased during detraining, overall effects were still observed after 24 months.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of vitamin D-3 supplementation on bone health in adults. The results showed a protective effect of vitamin D-3 supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip. Dose-response analysis revealed a linear relationship between vitamin D-3 supplementation doses and BMD. However, no significant effect of vitamin D-3 supplementation on whole-body or total hip BMD was found. The relationship between vitamin D-3 supplement doses and markers of bone turnover was nonlinear.

Summary: This study examined the effects of a 16-week exercise intervention (mat Pilates or belly dance) on patient-reported outcomes among breast cancer survivors. The results showed that both interventions, along with a few educational sessions, were effective in improving fatigue after 16 weeks. A history of exercise prior to breast cancer diagnosis and being inactive after diagnosis were significant predictors of intervention adherence.

Summary: This study reviewed randomized clinical trials on Body Practices (BP) and Physical Exercise (PE) in menopausal women and described their effect on sexual function. The results showed that interventions with PE were more effective compared to BP, but there is a shortage of studies on PE, and the available ones are limited to aerobic training without sufficient data on intensity, volume, and frequency.
