Abstract

With the aging population, risks associated with bone density decline, osteoporosis calls for these people to seek ways to enhance their bone health as they age. Strengthening exercise or resistance training exercise has received a lot of emphasis due to the effects on the BMD and bone health in the elderly. This literature review aims to elucidate on the effects of strength training on bone health, using its modalities of action, effectiveness and biological pathways. It has been reveled in researches that strength training causes mechanical loading on bones through exerting force on bones by osteoblasts and osteoclasts thus increasing BMD. Also, strength training enables muscles pull with a lot of force on bones, thus improving their density and strength. Changes in hormonal levels and in the indices of bone turnover – osteocalcin and C-telopeptide, all point to the fact that resistance training is beneficial in influencing bone metabolism. It forms part of the current review comparing strength training to different combinations of exercise in the prevention or treatment of bone loss or fracture in older adults, a subject on which it draws conclusions that positive outcomes include increased BMD in lumbar spine and femoral neck, decrease in fracture risk. Similarly, strength training complemented with proper nutrition and other forms of exercise increases the benefits many folds. This review shall also stress on strength training as a feasible strategy to counter age related bone densing and fracture rate and improved quality of life among the elderly.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a disease where there is an increase in glucose levels in the blood due to a lack of insulin. This disease is associated with hereditary factors, viruses, chemicals, unhealthy diet or lifestyle, lack of exercise, and being overweight or obese . The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between physical activity and nutritional status with blood glucose levels in diabetes mellitus sufferers at RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar. Type of non-experimental research with design Cross sectional study . The study population was all diabetes mellitus patients seeking treatment at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo, the sample was 47 respondents who met the criteria. The collection technique uses accidental sampling . Data collection using questionnaires and observation sheets. The data that has been collected is processed and analyzed using computerization with appropriate tests. Data analysis includes univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the chisquare test . Significance limit = 0.05, H0 is rejected if p < 0.05 and H0 is accepted if p > 0.05. The statistical test results showed a significant relationship between physical activity (p=0.001 < α 0.05) and nutritional status (p=0.001 < α 0.05) with instantaneous blood glucose levels. So the more regularly you do physical activity, the more normal your blood glucose levels will be and the better your nutritional status, the more normal your blood glucose levels will be.
