ERTO-K Study: Six-Month Detraining Effects in Postmenopausal Korean Women

The ERTO-K study provides supplementary material for a randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of a 6-month detraining period following a 6-month exercise program. The dataset includes outcomes for 33 postmenopausal Korean women with osteosarcopenia, assessed at the end of the intervention and after detraining. It was authored by figshare admin karger and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze changes in bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and femoral neck after detraining.
• Compare muscle strength retention between exercise groups based on handgrip strength (HGS) and Muscle Quality Index (MQI) data.
• Evaluate functional decline using metrics like the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Berg Balance Test (BBT), and gait speed.
• Investigate the relationship between muscle mass (SMI) and functional performance during a detraining period.

Strengths

• Data originates from a randomized controlled trial with an assessor-blinded design.
• Includes 33 participants with a mean age of 75.9 ± 5.2 years, providing a specific demographic focus.
• Measures multiple outcomes including skeletal muscle index, handgrip strength, balance, gait speed, and bone mineral density.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small at 232.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
