Objective. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of 12-month resistance training (6 reps x 70% of 1RM + 6 reps x 50% of 1RM) in physical performance in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis or osteopenia. Methods: Ten women with postmenopausal osteopenia/osteoporosis were divided into a exercise group (EX, n = 5) and control group (C, n = 5). The training program included exercises for upper and lower limb muscles with intensities of 50 – 70% of 1RM over a period of 12 months (twice weekly, 50 minutes training session). Physical performance was evaluated before and at the end of the study using the 30-second sit to stand test 30-second arm-curl test. Results: At the end of the study, the results of 10 patients were analyzed. A significant improvement was noted in physical performance for exercise group compared to control group: arm curl test (22.2±0.8 vs. 20.2±0.8, p = .014, r = -0.78) and chair stand test (19.8±0.8 vs. 17.6±1.7, p = .023, r = -0.72). Conclusion: Resistance training program improves physical performance among women with postmenopausal osteopenia/osteoporosis.
Keywords: osteoporosis, osteopenia, resistance training, postmenopausal, physical performance.
