Impact + resistance training improves bone health and body composition in prematurely menopausal breast cancer survivors: a randomized controlled trial
Summary Our r and omized controlled trial in prematurely menopausal breast cancer survivors showed that impact + resistance training prevented increases in percentage of body fat compared with controls and also improved BMD at the hip and prevented BMD loss at the spine among exercise-trained women who were menopausal for > 1 year . Introduction Cancer treatment-related menopause worsens bone health and body composition in breast cancer survivors ( BCS ) . We investigated whether impact + resistance training could improve bone mineral density ( BMD ) , reduce bone turnover , build muscle , and decrease fat mass in BCS with premature menopause . Methods We conducted a r and omized controlled trial in 71 BCS ( mean age , 46.5 years ) within 5 years of treatment-related menopause . Women were r and omly assigned to one of two groups : ( 1 ) impact + resistance training ( prevent osteoporosis with impact + resistance ( POWIR ) ) or ( 2 ) exercise placebo ( FLEX ) 3 × /week for 1 year . Outcomes were hip and spine BMD ( in grams per square centimeter ) and body composition ( percent body fat ( % BF ) and lean and fat mass ( in kilograms ) ) by DXA and bone turnover markers ( serum osteocalcin ( in nanograms per milliliter ) and urinary deoxypryrodinoline ( in nanomoles per milliliter ) . Results There were no significant group × time interactions for bone outcomes when using an intent-to-treat approach on the full sample . In analyses restricted to BCS who were menopausal for ≥1 year , POWIR increased BMD at the hip and slowed BMD loss at the spine compared with FLEX ( femoral neck — POWIR , 0.004 ± 0.093 g/cm2 vs. FLEX , −0.010 ± 0.089 g/cm2 ; p < 0.01 ; spine — POWIR , −0.003 ± 0.114 g/cm2 vs. FLEX , −0.020 ± 0.110 g/cm2 ; p = 0.03 ) . POWIR prevented increases in % BF ( POWIR , 0.01 % vs. FLEX , 1.3 % ; p < 0.04 ) . Women with attendance to POWIR at ≥64 % had better improvements in % BF than women attending less often ( p < 0.03 ) . Conclusion Impact + resistance training may effectively combat bone loss and worsening body composition from premature menopause in BCS
