21.11.2022
On November 21st, 2022, a dissemination event under the Happy Bones project was held at the "Vasil Levski" National sport academy, which aimed to inform sports specialists, trainers, coaches and sports pedagogues with the specific "Happy Bones" methodology, in which adapted physical activity is applied to people diagnosed with osteoporosis – a progressive metabolic disease of the skeleton. As a result of destruction of the collagen matrix, the bones become thinner and lose their density. The balance between the processes of construction and degradation of bone tissue is disturbed in favor of degradation. Bones become brittle, leading to more frequent fractures – especially in the wrists, spine and hips. With the most dramatic consequences is the fracture in the area of the femoral neck, that is why the creation and validation of such type of protocols is of utmost importance for the correct rehabilitation, recovery and treatment of such type of diseases.
HAPPY BONES PROJECT CONTRIBUTED TO:
• The development and promotion of an innovative osteoporosis exercise protocol for osteopenic/ osteoporotic sedentary women aged 50-65 and their involvement in a moderate exercise and as a consequence, to increase their quality of life (in physiological and psychological terms);
• Conducted training of coaches and sports professionals to multiply the implementation of the osteoporosis exercise protocol and make it applicable in as many new start-up programs as possible;
• Compare the pilot program attendance in two different settings (workplace and sports organization), in order to analyze which is the best solution to promote regular physical activity.
Physical activity in women in menopause: a collaborative partnership for active lifestyles for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis / HAPPY BONES project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and in Bulgaria is implemented by the Bulgarian sports development association.
