In recent times, osteoporosis has taken epidemic
proportions. It is a disorder that in time of industrialization and application
of new technologies is starting to impact even the younger population. The use
of modern devices in everyday life is resulting in a reduced level of human
physical activity, consequently leading to an inactive way of life and an
increase in number of people suffering from osteoporosis. According to the WHO
definition, osteoporosis is a disease state characterized by loss of bone
mineral density and bone loss which over time eventually results in fractures.
As a disease, osteoporosis represents a great medical, social and economic
challenge. Due to the recent years' increase in the number of people diagnosed
with osteopenia and osteoporosis, there is a growing interest in this problem
within the scientific community and among health professionals, and there has
been a great number of attempts to develop guidelines for diagnosis,
diagnostics and treatment for patients who are suffering from it. Going beyond
its educational character, this dissertation also aims to point out potential
positive aspects of Tae Bo exercises on people with osteoporosis and potential
positive effects on bone mass, lowering of FRAX score and better quality of
life. The study included 92 patients with osteoporosis diagnosis, who at the
beginning and at the end of the study carried out laboratory blood, urine, and
densitometry tests and filled out questionnaires of the ten-year risk of
fracture (FRAX) and Quality Questionnaire QUALEFFO 31. The study was a
prospective, randomized controlled study conducted on a group of women between
55 and 65. Research has shown that programs Tae Bo exercise can positively
impact the greater bone mass and quality of life of people with osteoporosis.
The study also points out that respondents tend to develop a positive attitude
toward continuing physical activity once enrolled in a Tae Bo type of exercise.
Accordingly, a working and a null hypothesis have been set. Research has shown
that programs Tae Bo exercise can positively impact the greater bone mass and
quality of life of people with osteoporosis. Considering the social and
economic magnitude and the breadth of osteoporosis as a global and widespread
problem, the main contribution of this study was to find new ways to mitigate
its effects.
