Abstract

The bone mass is altered because of many factors, having osteoporosis resulted from the action of glucocorticoids, medicines used in many diseases, like in the self immune ones; physical exercise is already a possibility in the treatment and prevention of postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis, and can benefit directly and indirectly the collateral effects of the glucocorticoids. The aim of this article was to find in the literature arguments that confirm the contribution of the exercises as a prevention and treatment to the harmful effects of the glucocorticoids in relation to the bone density. There is an agreement about the benefits of the physical activities in chronic user glucocorticoid patients not only in relation to the bone density but also to minimize the effects of the metabolic syndrome. The effects of the physical exercises about the endogenous and exogenous cortisol are not totally explained, demanding thus, more researches, such as the correlation of the physiotherapy benefits in chronic user glucocorticoids patients.
