MOVE Trial Summary

This trial will compare how two types of exercise affect bone resorption in adults. It is not known if resistance exercise causes a similar increase in bone resorption as endurance exercise, or if exercise training affects the increase in bone resorption following exercise for both endurance and resistance exercise.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy older veterans aged 60+ in the Denver area who are normally active, like walking or cycling. They can't join if they have liver disease, kidney problems, anemia, diabetes, thyroid issues, abnormal calcium levels, severe high blood pressure, recent COVID-19 symptoms or diagnosis, a fracture within the last six months or heart disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how two types of exercise affect bone health markers in older adults. Participants will do either 10 weeks of supervised resistance training (like lifting weights) or endurance training (like running), to see which one is better for bones.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated for this trial since it's about exercise interventions rather than medications; potential side effects may include muscle soreness and fatigue from resistance exercises and joint impact concerns from endurance activities.

MOVE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Resistance ExerciseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will perform total body resistance training 3x per week for 10 weeks. Each exercise session will last approximately 1 hour.
Group II: Endurance ExerciseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will complete 60 minutes of stationary cycling 3x per week at 70-80% of maximal heart rate for 10 weeks.
