High-impact exercise is considered to be very beneficial for bones. We investigated the ability of jump exercise to restore bone mass and structure after the deterioration induced by tail suspension in growing rats and made comparisons with treadmill running exercise. Five-week-old male Wistar rats ( n = 28) were randomly assigned to four body weight-matched groups: a spontaneous recovery group after tail suspension ( n = 7), a jump exercise group after tail suspension ( n = 7), a treadmill running group after tail suspension ( n = 7), and age-matched controls without tail suspension or exercise ( n = 7). Treadmill running was performed at 25 m/min, 1 h/day, 5 days/wk. The jump exercise protocol consisted of 10 jumps/day, 5 days/wk, with a jump height of 40 cm. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the total right femur was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Three-dimensional trabecular bone architecture at the distal femoral metaphysis was evaluated using microcomputed tomography. After 5 wk of free remobilization, right femoral BMD, right hindlimb muscle weight, and body weight returned to age-matched control levels, but trabeculae remained thinner and less connected. Although both jump and running exercises during the remobilization period increased trabecular bone mass, jump exercise increased trabecular thickness, whereas running exercise increased trabecular number. These results indicate that restoration of trabecular bone architecture induced by jump exercise during remobilization is predominantly attributable to increased trabecular thickness, whereas running adds trabecular bone mass through increasing trabecular number, and suggest that jumping and running exercises have different mechanisms of action on structural characteristics of trabecular bone.

AbstractUsing a stochastic lattice model we have studied the architectural changes of trabecular bone occurring while the structure is remodeled. Our model considers the mechanical feedback loop, which control the remodeling process. A fast algorithm was employed to solve approximately the mechanical problem. A general feature of the model is that a networklike structure emerges, which further coarsens while the bone volume fraction remains unchanged. Decreasing the mechanical response of the system by either lowering the external load or the internal mechano-sensitivity leads not only to a reduction of the bone volume fraction, but results in topological changes of the trabecular bone architecture, where the loss of horizontal trabeculae is the most obvious effect.
