PHILADELPHIA -- Walking at a brisk pace increased bone mineral density while a slower or moderate pace was negatively correlated with a change in BMD, in a study of postmenopausal women.
"BMD increased at intensities above 110% of ventilatory threshold and de creased at intensities below 110%. In effect, a brisk walk 5 days a week over a 15week period was helpful for a postmenopausal woman's BMD, and a slower, less challenging one was not," said Katarina Borer, Ph.D., of the Center for Exercise Research at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
