چکیده

Objective: Sport mechanical stresses are effective stimuli for strengthening bone tissue. By the beginning of 
Menopause, assimilation of bone tissue increases. The object of this study was to compare some bone and 
Calsium metabolism indices in active and inactive Menopause women (MW). For this purpose, urinary and 
serum Calcium and Phosphorus, Alkaline Phosphatase (AP), Acid Phosphatase and Parathormone and 
Calcitonine hormone (CH) were measured. 
Method: 14 MW who had an experience in sport, in Sabsevar sport clubs, were taken as active group and 14 
MW who used to go to park of Mellat as leisure were chosen as the inactive group. There were no significant 
differences between two groups in height, age of menopause, weight, BMI and body fat percentage. Also, for 
the sake of accurate comparison, other variables such as: blood pressure, rest heart rate, WHR and Vo2max 
were measured .Subjects did not take any specific drugs. 80 cc of second morning urine and 10 ml of vein 
blood were taken from subjects before the breakfast. In order for the data comparison of two groups, t-student 
test was used. 
Results: 1- Serum calcium rate, serum Parathormone and bone AP in active MW were significantly lower 
than inactive women, and CH rate in active MW was significantly higher than inactive women (p<0.05). 2- 
There were no significant differences between urine calcium, serum and urine Phosphorus, Resisted Acid
Phosphatase to serum Tartarate and between Calcium ration to urine creatinin, among active MW and inactive 
women. 
Conclusion: It seems that prolonged regular physical activity can influence calcium and bone metabolism 
indices in MW and prevent bone degeneration, and with the reduction of Parathormone and the increase of CH, 
the bone tissue is prevented from losing calcium and other minerals.
