Body composition test included body mass index (IMC) and waist to hip ratio (ICC). Jump height was assessed by a countermovement jump (CMJ). GN showed a significant (p<0.05) decrease in ICC (5.81%). GIR showed a significant decrease in IMC (3.65%) and a significant increase in CMJ (15.5%). Two years of water-based calisthenics and resistance training can offer significant benefits in jump height in postmenopausal women with moderate hip risk fracture. Both exercise programs can also improve body composition. %K postmenopausal period %K jump height %K resistance training %K body compositions %U http://www.retos.org/numero_17/17-5.html
