Abstract :

 Aim:Bone deterioration or osteoporosis (osteo-porosis) is a set of several pathogenic mechanisms that gradually lead to the loss of bone microarchitecture and increase bone fractures. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a period of resistance training and consumption of soy milk on calcitonin   serum level and parathormone serum level in active women.

 Method:In this semi-experimental study, 40 active women of Behbahan city with an approximate age of 35-45 years were randomly divided into 4 groups of 10 people: control, calcium-enriched soy milk supplement, exercise, exercise + calcium-enriched soy milk. The training program was implemented for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week. Parathormone and calcitonin indices were measured 48 hours before and after the research.

 Results: The results of statistical analysis showed that calcitonin hormone level (p≤0.002) and parathormone level (p≤0.001) in the training group were associated with a significant increase and decrease, respectively. Also, a period of resistance training and calcium-enriched soy milk supplement had a significant increasing effect on calcitonin (p≤0.011) and a significant decrease on parathormone (p≤0.001) in serum level.

 Conclusion: It seems that the combination of resistance training and calcium-enriched soy milk supplement prevents osteoporosis by increasing the  calcitonin serum level and modulating the parathormone hormone.
