Objectives: One of the most important social developments of the 21st century is the elderly who are struggling with problems such as muscle mass loss and vitamin D deficiency. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of combined exercises with and without blood flow restriction and vitamin D supplementation on serum levels of alkaline phosphatase in elderly women.
Methods & Materials: This study was conducted as a clinical trial on 40 elderly women in three intervention groups (10 people in the combined exercise group, 10 people in the blood flow exercise group, and 10 people in the vitamin D supplement group) and a control group in the spring of 1401. The people of the intervention group were subjected to the exercise program for eight weeks and three sessions per week. Combined exercises included aerobic + resistance exercises (with intensity of 80% 1 maximum repetition) and combined exercises with blood flow restriction (20-30% 1 maximum repetition). In the supplement group, a 50,000 mg vitamin D capsule was used once a week. Alkaline phosphatase indices, vitamin D supplement amount was measured in two stages before and after the test. Data analysis was done using SPSS software and using analysis of variance and paired t-test at a significance level of α=0.05.
Results: The results of the present study showed that vitamin D supplementation had no significant effect on alkaline phosphatase levels (p˃0.05); While combined exercises with and without blood flow restriction had a significant effect on the target index (p˂0.05).
Conclusion: It seems that combined exercises with and without blood flow restriction have a positive effect on the level of alkaline phosphatase in elderly women, while taking vitamin D supplements alone in the short term cannot have beneficial effects on the level of alkaline phosphatase in elderly women.
