Summary: | OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects of combined aerobic dance exercise and honey
supplementation on blood bone metabolism markers and muscular power in adult women.
METHODS: Forty-four healthy sedentary women (25-40 year-old) were age and weight matched,
and subsequently being assigned into four groups with n=11 per group: Control (C), honey
supplementation (H), aerobic dance exercise (Ex) and combined aerobic dance exercise with
honey supplementation (HEx) groups. Aerobic dance exercise was carried out for one hour
per session, three times per week for eight weeks. Blood samples were taken to determine the
concentrations of serum total calcium, osteocalcin (bone formation marker), serum C-terminal
telopeptide of type 1 collagen (1CTP) (bone resorption marker), and parathyroid hormone
(PTH). Meanwhile, subjects’ lower limb muscular power was measured.
RESULTS: At the end of 8-weeks of experimental period, serum 1CTP concentration was
significant greater in post-test than pre-test in Ex group. The percentage increment in 1CTP
was the highest in Ex group. Meanwhile, the percentages of increment in 1CTP and PTH
concentrations in HEx group were the lowest compared to the other experimental groups.
Regarding muscular performance, Ex and HEx exhibited more discernable beneficial effects on
lower limb average power compared to the H and C groups.
CONCLUSION: Combination of aerobic dance exercise and honey supplementation has potential
to reduce the increment in bone resorption resulting from exercise, and this combination could
enhance lower limb muscular power in sedentary women. |
