[PMID: 37763648 PMCID: PMC10532981 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59091529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Home-based training exercise gained popularity during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic era. Mini-trampoline exercise (MTE) is a home-based exercise that utilizes rebound force generated from the trampoline net and the motion of the joints of the lower extremities. It is known to be beneficial for improving postural balance, stability, muscle strength and coordination, bone strength, and overall health. However, we encountered several patients with mid-thoracic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) following regular MTE, which was never reported previously, despite having no history of definite trauma. This study aims to report mid-thoracic VCFs after regular MTE and arouse public attention regarding this spinal injury and the necessity of appropriate prior instructions about the correct posture. Patients and Methods: All consecutive patients diagnosed with acute VCFs following regular MTE were included. We collected data on patient demographics, history of MTE, characteristics of symptoms, and radiological findings such as the location of fractures and anterior vertebral body compression percentage. Results: Seven patients (one man and six women) and ten fractures (T5 = 1, T6 = 3, T7 = 2, and T8 = 4) were identified. Symptoms started 2.57 ± 1.13 weeks after the beginning of regular MTE. All patients reported that they were never properly instructed on the correct posture. They also stated that they were exercising with a hunchback posture and insufficient joint motion of the lower extremities while holding the safety bar with both hands, which resulted in increased peak vertical force along the gravity z-axis in the mid-thoracic area and consequent mid-thoracic VCFs. Conclusions: Mid-thoracic VCFs can occur following regular MTE even without high-energy trauma in case of improper posture during exercise. Therefore, public attention on mid-thoracic VCFs following MTE and the appropriate prior instructions are imperative.

Effects of exercise based on ACSM recommendations on bone mineral density in individuals with osteoporosis: a systematic review and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1181327. [PMID: 37528896 PMCID: PMC10389279 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1181327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the effects of different exercise dose on lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) in individuals with osteoporosis (OP). Design: A systematic search was conducted in four electronic databases, namely, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane, with the topic of the impact of exercise on BMD in individuals with OP. Randomized controlled trials comparing exercise intervention with no intervention were identified, and changes in lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD were reported and evaluated using standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The intervention measures in the studies were evaluated and categorized as high adherence with the exercise testing and prescription recommendations for individuals with OP developed by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) or low/uncertainty adherence with ACSM recommendations. A random effects model was used to conduct meta-analyses and compare the results between subgroups. Results: A total of 32 studies involving 2005 participants were included in the analyses, with 14 studies categorized as high adherence with ACSM recommendations and 18 studies categorized as low or uncertain adherence. In the analyses of lumbar spine BMD, 27 studies with 1,539 participants were included. The combined SMD for the high adherence group was 0.31, while the combined SMD for the low or uncertain adherence group was 0.04. In the analyses of femoral neck BMD, 23 studies with 1,606 participants were included. The combined SMD for the high adherence group was 0.45, while the combined SMD for the low or uncertain adherence group was 0.28. Within resistance exercise, the subgroup with high ACSM adherence had a greater impact on lumbar spine BMD compared to the subgroup with low or uncertain ACSM adherence (SMD: 0.08 > -0.04). Similarly, for femoral neck BMD, resistance exercise with high ACSM adherence had a higher SMD compared to exercise with low or uncertain ACSM adherence (SMD: 0.49 > 0.13). Conclusion: The results suggest that exercise interventions with high adherence to ACSM recommendations are more effective in improving lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD in individuals with OP compared to interventions with low or uncertain adherence to ACSM recommendations. Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO, identifier CRD42023427009.

Maturitas 2023; 173:7-15. [PMID: 37146366 DOI: 10.1016/j.maturitas.2023.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcaneal ultrasound (broadband ultrasound attenuation - BUA), a marker of bone strength, may predict future physical capability and thus provide a strategy to identify individuals at risk of age-related deterioration of health. This study aims to determine if BUA can predict future physical capability among middle-aged and older adults. METHODS Summary performance scores (SPS), an objective quantification of physical capability, were devised using participants' measures of standing balance, gait speed and timed chair rises. Associations between BUA and SPS, measured at least six years apart, were investigated using univariable and multivariate sex-specific linear and logistic regression, adjusting for confounders. RESULTS 5893 participants were included. In men and women, for every five points lower BUA, there was a 0.2-point decrease in SPS. In women, BUA less than one standard deviation below the mean was associated with low physical capability (defined as SPS 3-6); fully adjusted odds ratio (OR) (95 % confidence interval (CI)) 1.35 (1.01-1.84). No association existed among men; OR (95 % CI) 0.84 (0.59-1.19). Significant risk factors for low physical capability in men with baseline low BUA were: older age [OR 5.77]; high BMI [OR 2.85]; lower social class [OR 1.59]; low physical activity [OR 1.64]. Risk factors among women were: older age [OR 5.54]; high BMI [OR 2.08]; lower education [OR 1.42], low physical activity [OR 1.27]; steroid use [OR 2.05]; and stroke [OR 2.74]. CONCLUSION BUA may predict future physical capability in older adults. With further validation, BUA could stratify individuals at risk of deterioration in physical health.

Aerobic Dance on an Air Dissipation Platform Improves Cardiorespiratory, Muscular and Cellular Fitness in the Overweight and Obese Elderly. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11040579. [PMID: 35453778 PMCID: PMC9031850 DOI: 10.3390/biology11040579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Background: Obesity is a global health problem associated with a high number of comorbidities that decrease functional capacity, especially in elderly people. Aerobic dance is considered a viable strategy to prevent the effects of aging, mainly in obese and overweight elderly people. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of aerobic dance on an air dissipation platform (ADP) on body composition, oxidative stress and muscular and cardiorespiratory fitness in elderly people. Methods: In total, 32 elderly adults (67.1 ± 3.6) were divided into 3 groups based on body mass index: healthy (HG), overweight (OWG) and obese (OG). Training program of aerobic dance on an ADP was carried out twice a week for 12 weeks. Results: OWG (p = 0.016) and OG decreased their weight (p < 0.001). There was a significant decrease in malondialdehyde concentrations in all experimental groups (p < 0.05). OWG and OG significantly improved their peak oxygen uptake (p < 0.01). HG increased the vertical jump height (p < 0.05), and HG and OG improved the power output of the lower extremities (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The aerobic dance on an ADP may be an effective alternative to lose weight, prevent oxidative stress and improve cardiorespiratory fitness in obese and overweight elderly people.

Abstract
With age, many physiological changes occur in the human body, leading to a decline in biological functions, and those related to the locomotor system are some of the most visible. Hence, there is a particular need to provide simple and safe exercises for the comprehensive development of physical fitness among elderly adults. The latest recommendations for the elderly suggest that the main goal of training should be to increase muscle power. The post-activation performance enhancement effect underpinning complex training might be an approach that will allow for the development of both muscle strength and velocity of movement, which will result in an increase in muscle power and improve the ability to perform daily activities and decrease injury risk. This article briefly introduces a complex training model adapted to the elderly with its potential benefits and proposes a direction for further studies.

Effects of Nonpharmacological Interventions on Balance Function in Patients with Osteoporosis or Osteopenia: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE : ECAM 2021; 2021:6662510. [PMID: 34055018 PMCID: PMC8112948 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6662510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of nonpharmacological interventions in improving balance function of patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia using network meta-analysis (NMA). METHODS We searched seven databases (PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, CKNI, Wanfang Data, VIP, and CBM) for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to August 31, 2020. Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Time Up and Go Test (TUGT) were used as outcome measures. Two researchers independently screened studies, collected data from the studies, and estimated risk of study bias. Divergence in the evaluation process was settled by consulting a third researcher. We used Stata 15.1 software for network meta-analysis (NMA). RESULTS We identified 10 eligible RCTs, with a total of 737 patients and four intervention methods, including traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) exercises, pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs), strength training, and balance and strength training. The results revealed that all nonpharmacological interventions could improve balance function, but the effect of balance and strength training was better than other interventions. CONCLUSION Exercise can significantly improve the balance function of patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia, and balance combined with strength training has the best effect, followed by TCM exercises.
