Bone and Power: Training Smarter Through Menopause
Manage episode 489784347 series 2828159
This episode dives into some of the evidence on resistance vs. high-velocity power training in postmenopausal women and its impact on bone mineral density (BMD). Research is highlighted showing that high-speed training protocols may stimulate bone more effectively than traditional resistance training by increasing strain rates and promoting osteogenic adaptation. You’ll learn how moving with speed and control helps strengthen bones and prevents age-related decline better than slow, heavy lifting alone.
Some of Erica’s research for her doctoral dissertation is discussed and she then presents a case study of a menopausal patient with insidious-onset shoulder pain and offers some clinical pearls as to why, especially in anyone who has played a racquet sport, the shoulder is not the only driver. She also highlights a few targeted interventions that allowed this woman to weight lift and strengthen her shoulder without feeding into her symptoms.
