| Objective To understand the effect of Taekwondo exercise on bone metabolism in pubertal and post pubertal female college students, and to provide evidence for health exercise, bone metabolic improvement, and prevention of osteoporosis. Methods The characteristics of bone structure following Taekwondo training in female students in Jinsong Taekwondo Club, Shandong University of Technology, was analyzed using follow-up study and literature screening. The effect of Taekwondo training on bone mass, bone mineral biochemical components, and biochemical markers of bone formation was studied. The influential factors of bone mineral density and bone morphology were also studied. Results Taekwondo training, as a sport of high resistance, endurance, and vibration, increased muscle strength, leading to a positive effect on the bone. Conclusion Taekwondo, as a high resistance and high vibration aerobic exercise, improves bone metabolism and bone mineral density. The results provide theoretical guidance of sports and fitness for preventing osteoporosis. |
