The time course of changes in plasma bone turnover markers following an acute bout of resistance training (RT) or plyometrics (PLY) has not been well characterized. This study is the first to compare the acute response of bone formation and resorption markers to a single bout of RT or PLY. Using a partially randomized, cross-over study design, 12 recreationally active men, aged 43 ± 5 yr, each completed four exercise trials: RT (Fed/Fasted) and PLY (Fed/Fasted). In addition to the RT and PLY trials, 5 of the original 12 participants also completed a fasted, no-exercise control trial to examine time-of-day variation. For each trial, blood was drawn immediately before exercise (PRE), immediately following exercise, and 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 24 h following PRE for determination of plasma bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), osteocalcin (OC), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b), COOH-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX), testosterone, parathyroid hormone, and cortisol. A one-factor repeated-measures ANOVA was performed for each trial to detect changes in bone markers during the 2 h following RT or PLY. TRAP5b transiently decreased during the 2 h following all exercise trials (main effect for time, P < 0.05), but returned to PRE concentrations 2 h postexercise. BAP, CTX, and OC remained unchanged, except for reductions in BAP and CTX following PLY-Fasted and PLY-Fed, respectively. During the control trial, BAP decreased, while TRAP5b, CTX, and OC remained unchanged. In general, plasma hormone concentrations decreased during the 2 h following PLY or RT, and cumulative decreases in TRAP5b during the 2 h following exercise were positively correlated with cumulative decreases in parathyroid hormone. The results of the present study suggest that the timing of the measurement of bone turnover markers relative to the last exercise bout is important for detection of exercise-associated changes in bone turnover markers, as the markers returned to preexercise values within 2 h of RT or PLY.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of resistance training (RT) and dried plum (DP) consumption on strength, body composition, blood markers of bone, and inflammation in breast cancer survivors (BCS). Twenty-three BCS (RT, n = 12; RT+DP, n = 11), aged 64 ± 7 years, were evaluated at baseline and after 6 months of intervention on the following: muscular strength (chest press and leg extension) via 1-repetition maximums (1RMs); body composition, specifically bone mineral density (BMD) by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; biochemical markers of bone turnover (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP-5b)); and inflammation (C-reactive protein (CRP)). Target RT prescription was 2 days/week of 10 exercises, including 2 sets of 8–12 repetitions at ∼60%–80% of 1RM. RT+DP also consumed 90 g of DP daily. There were no baseline differences between groups or any group-by-time interactions for any of the variables. BCS increased upper (p < 0.05) (RT: 64 ± 14 to 80 ± 17 kg; RT+DP: 72 ± 23 to 91 ± 20 kg) and lower (p < 0.05) (RT: 69 ± 20 to 87 ± 28 kg; RT+DP: 78 ± 19 to 100 ± 21 kg) body strength. Body composition and BMD improvements were not observed. TRAP-5b decreased in the RT group (p < 0.05) (4.55 ± 1.57 to 4.04 ± 1.63 U/L) and the RT+DP group (p = 0.07) (5.10 ± 2.75 to 4.27 ± 2.03 U/L). Changes in BAP and CRP were not observed. RT was effective for improving biochemical markers of bone turnover and muscular strength in BCS. A longer and higher intensity intervention may be needed to reveal the true effects of RT and DP on body composition and biochemical markers of inflammation.
