The effect of brisk walking on postural stability, bone mineral density, body weight and composition in women over 50 years with a sedentary occupation: a randomized controlled trial

摘要: To assess the effect of brisk walking on postural stability, bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in women over 50 years age with a sedentary occupation. A 10-week intervention based self-regulated (BW) to or from work 30–35 min at least 5 times per week. The research included total 104 (58 group). mean center pressure (COP) velocity medial-lateral anterior-posterior directions, COP eyes open closed, BMD distal forearm calcaneus, weight, fat mass, lean mass were assessed. BW was completed by 76 % participants. significant (time × group interaction) confirmed only direction closed (F = 7.41, P = 0.008). not BMD, composition. results indicate that is influenced baseline index visceral adipose tissue. prevents deterioration stability which can have direct reducing risk falls under worse spatial orientation visibility. presented model insufficient for weight loss, changes composition, its should be assessed during longer period time.
