Abstract: The effect of physical activity in the treatment of osteopenia induced by ovariectomy was studied in 34 two-month-old Wistar female rats. Animals were divided into three groups in which two were formed by ovariectomized (OVX) animals and the other one had sham-operated animals. Group 1, active OVX’d rats; group 2, sedentary OVX’d rats and group 3, sham-operated ones (control). After three months of daily physical activity in a motor-driven treadmill all rats were sacrificed. In order to perform a histomorphometric analysis, long bones, vertebrae, and nasal bone were selected at necropsy. Ovariectomized rats which exercised showed an increased trabecular bone volume, cortical thickness in the long bones and vertebrae and also an increased nasal bone thickness. Physical activity also increased the connection of osteocytes. It was concluded that physical activity in osteopenia treatment increases and restores the mass of bones directly and indirectly submitted to physical impact.
