The purpose of this study is to propose an effective exercise interven-tion program to prevent and control osteopenia and osteoporosis that result from aging. To the end of this study, a circuit training intervention was performed for 8 weeks among participants with osteopenia who resided in Gyeonggi Province and were aged 65 and whose T-score of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was between -1.0 and -2.5. Based on the effect of this intervention on their bone metabolism markers and bone density, the following conclusions were derived: First, it turned out that the circuit training intervention had statistically significant interac-tive effects on bone metabolism markers (osteocalcin and deoxypyrid-inoline) of old women with osteopenia depending on the measuring tim-ing and groups. Second, it turned out that the circuit training interven-tion had statistically significant interactive effects on the bone density (T-score) depending on the measuring timing and groups. The conclu-sions above indicate that the circuit training intervention showed posi-tive effects on bone metabolism markers and bone density of old wom-en with osteopenia, being viewed as an effective intervention program applicable in order to prevent and control osteopenia and osteoporosis in line with bone density decrease.
