Weight Training Decreases Vertebral Bone Density in Premenopausal Women: A Prospective Study*
Abstract
The effect of exercise on bone mass is unclear. To determine the skeletal effect of weight-bearing exercise in premenopausal women, we prospectively evaluated the effects of a weight-training program on lumbar spine bone mass in 10 women (mean +/- SEM, 36.2 +/- 1.3 yr) and compared the results with those in 7 sedentary women (40.4 +/- 1.6 yr). None of the women had previously participated in a weight-training program, and all ingested a 500-mg calcium supplement each day throughout the study. Axial loading and balance of large muscle groups were emphasized. Individual strength increased by 57 +/- 8% over 9 months. Despite the increase in muscle strength, lumbar spine bone density in the exercising women decreased by 2.90% at 4.5 months and 3.96% at 9 months (P = 0.01). In contrast, there was no change in lumbar density in the controls over the 9-month period. We conclude that short term weight training at this frequency and intensity decreases vertebral bone mass in premenopausal women.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
