Figure 1

Levels of BMD in femur neck (a and b) and lumbar spine (d and e) before and after the 24-week followup showing reduction in the untrained and no change in the trained group ( for time factor and for interaction between time and group factors by 2-way ANOVA with repeated measures separately for each body site). (c) and (f) The relative changes of BMD in the untrained (filled boxes) and resistive trained women (empty boxes). P was calculated by unpaired Student’s t test.
