Regular strength and impact-type training may decrease or even prevent age-related bone deterioration in men, new research at the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland, shows. The tibial bone properties of middle-aged and older male sprint athletes were followed over 10 years. The study presents novel findings on maintaining the adaptability of the aging skeleton and on the importance of regular intensive training for maintaining bone health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

\u201cPart of the age-related bone loss is probably explained by reduced levels of physical activity. Especially intensive, bone-loading exercise typically decreases with age,\u201c says Tuuli Suominen<\/strong>, a doctoral researcher at the Gerontology Research Center, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4.<\/span><\/p>\n

High-intensity strength, sprint and jumping training have beneficial effects on bone even in old age. However, the ability of such training to prevent or decrease age-related bone deterioration remains unclear, as no longitudinal studies have been conducted on the topic thus far. <\/span><\/p>\n

Associations of regular strength and sprint training with bone aging were examined <\/span>in a larger research program by the Gerontology Research Center and Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland.<\/span> A total of 69 men aged 40 to 85 years participated in <\/span>the follow-up part of the study. At the beginning of the follow-up, all the men were training and competing actively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tibial bone properties of the participants were examined by computed tomography at baseline and after 10 years. The associations of the training status with the longitudinal changes in bone were examined in two groups: in athletes who had continued regular strength and sprint training and in athletes who had reduced their training load.<\/span><\/p>\n

The study showed that regular strength and sprint training was associated with maintained or even improved tibial bone properties while in those athletes who had reduced their training load the bone properties declined over the 10-year follow-up period. The positive effects of the training were most evident in trabecular bone density and in cross-sectional geometry of the tibial shaft, which supports the benefits of both impact-type training and strength training.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the intensive training of the athletes as such is not possible for all aging people, strength and power training is highly recommended at all ages, regardless of the functional status,\u201d Suominen says. \u201cIn the present study, the benefits of high-impact training were most evident among middle-aged while strength training may be effective in preserving bone in older populations. Muscle strength and power are highly important also in preventing falls and related fractures.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The study was part of a larger Athlete Aging Study research program examining the effects of long-term training on musculoskeletal aging and physical performance.

Toistaiseksi ei kuitenkaan tiedet\u00e4, voidaanko t\u00e4llaisella harjoittelulla est\u00e4\u00e4 tai hidastaa luuston vanhenemismuutoksia, sill\u00e4 aiempia pitkitt\u00e4istutkimuksia aiheesta ei ole tehty.\r\n\r\nS\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llisen voima- ja pikajuoksuharjoittelun yhteytt\u00e4 luuston ik\u00e4\u00e4ntymismuutoksiin selvitettiin Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4n yliopiston Gerontologian tutkimuskeskuksen ja liikuntatieteellisen tiedekunnan laajemmassa tutkimushankkeessa. Tutkimuksen seurantavaiheeseen osallistui 69 40\u201385-vuotiasta pikajuoksijamiest\u00e4, jotka harjoittelivat ja kilpailivat s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llisesti tutkimuksen alkutilanteessa.\r\n\r\nTutkittavien s\u00e4\u00e4riluun ominaisuuksia mitattiin tietokonetomografialla tutkimuksen alussa ja 10 vuoden kuluttua. Harjoittelun yhteytt\u00e4 seurannan aikaisiin luustomuutoksiin selvitettiin vertailemalla s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llist\u00e4 voima-, pikajuoksu- ja hyppelyharjoittelua jatkaneita urheilijoita harjoittelua v\u00e4hent\u00e4neisiin tai harjoittelun lopettaneisiin urheilijoihin.\r\n\r\nTutkimuksessa havaittiin, ett\u00e4 s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llinen voima- ja nopeusharjoittelu oli yhteydess\u00e4 s\u00e4\u00e4riluun lujuusominaisuuksien yll\u00e4pit\u00e4miseen tai jopa paranemiseen 10 vuoden seurannan aikana, kun taas harjoittelua v\u00e4hent\u00e4neill\u00e4 urheilijoilla luuston ominaisuudet heikkeniv\u00e4t. Harjoittelun yhteys n\u00e4kyi erityisen selv\u00e4sti hohkaluun tiheydess\u00e4 ja s\u00e4\u00e4riluun varsiosan poikkileikkausgeometriassa, mik\u00e4 tukee sek\u00e4 iskutyyppisen harjoittelun ett\u00e4 voimaharjoittelun hy\u00f6dyllisyytt\u00e4.\r\n\r\n- Vaikka urheilijoiden harjoittelu ei sovellu sellaisenaan kaikille ik\u00e4\u00e4ntyneille, oikein toteutettu voima- ja tehoharjoittelu on suositeltavaa kaiken ik\u00e4isille ja kuntoisille. T\u00e4ss\u00e4 tutkimuksessa iskutyyppisen harjoittelun hy\u00f6dyt korostuivat erityisesti keski-ik\u00e4isill\u00e4, kun taas vanhemmilla ik\u00e4ryhmill\u00e4 erityisesti voimaharjoittelu saattaa olla tehokas tapa yll\u00e4pit\u00e4\u00e4 luustoa.
