Practice of moderate physical activity can attenuate the loss of lean body mass in menopausal women

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between physical activity (PA) and total body (BLM), leg (LLM) and arm lean mass (ALM) in menopausal women. Sixty two 62 menopausal women were included (61.2 plus or minus 7.6 years). Their practice of PA was assessed by Actigraph GT3X accelerome...

Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between physical activity (PA) and total body (BLM), leg (LLM) and arm lean mass (ALM) in menopausal women. Sixty two 62 menopausal women were included (61.2 plus or minus 7.6 years). Their practice of PA was assessed by Actigraph GT3X accelerometer, and is reported as minutes per week of light or moderate-vigorous PA, and total PA. The sample was dichotomized into two groups according to their weekly practice of PA moderate-vigorous; physically active ( greater than or equal to 150 minutes) and insufficiently active (
