Sponsor's own description
The principal goal of this study is to determine parameters of walking in terms of peak mechanical vertical force, bout duration, and bout spacing that can preserve or increase bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. Release of pulses of parathyroid hormone (PTH), growth hormone (GH), and of markers of bone resorption and bone formation will be used as indicators of the osteogenic effects of a short exposure to exercise. When secreted in pulsatile fashion, GH stimulates osteoblast proliferation, particularly in cortical bone (27, 28). Like GH, the pattern of PTH secretion determines the nature of its effect on bone. When it is secreted in pulsatile manner, PTH contributes to bone formation through activation of bone lining cells, differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, and suppression of bone cell apoptosis .
