ABSTRACT

Phoosuwan M, Yuktanandana P, Kritpet T. The Effects of Modified Yoga Pose Training on Bone Remodeling of Elderly Women with Osteopenia. JEPonline 2021;24(1):25-34. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of modified yoga pose training on bone remodeling in elderly women with osteopenia. Thirty-two participants with osteopenia (aged 60 to 75 yrs) were recruited for this single-blind study (assessor blinded). The Yoga Group (YG, n=16) performed a 12-wk yoga pose training program (50 min, 3 d·wk-1), which included warm up and cool down by stretching with easy yoga poses, six yoga pose series (four poses in each series, three times per series), and yoga breathing training. The Control Group (CG, n=16) had a normal daily life. Baseline demographic data of all the participants were recorded. To assess the effect of exercise on bone remodeling, biochemical markers of bone turnover [β-CrossLaps, N-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen (P1NP), and N-mid osteocalcin] were evaluated at baseline and after 12 wks. The t-test was used to verify intra and inter group differences. The results showed that bone resorption (β-CrossLaps) significantly increased at 12 wks in both groups compared to their baseline values (P ................
