Nutrition and physical training have important roles in the accumulation and maintenance of bone mass. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in ovariectomized rats ( OVX ), the effects of treadmill training (T) with high‐fat diet (F) on weight gain and bone tissue properties with eight groups ( n  = 10) for 12 weeks: OVX SC ( OVX , sedentary lifestyle, diet control); OVX SF ; OVX TC ; OVX TF ; SH SC ( SHAM , sedentary lifestyle, diet control); SH SF ; SH TC ; and SH TF . Weekly weight gain and final body composition were assessed. After euthanasia, tibiae were analyzed. The trained animals had higher body weight ( P  = 0.001), bone mineral density ( P  < 0.001), and trabecular bone ( P  < 0.001). The animals with a high‐fat diet showed higher global fat ( P  < 0.001), percentage of global fat ( P  < 0.001) and deformation at impact ( P  = 0.031) and reduced tibial bone mineral content ( P  = 0.036). Physical training improves bone microarchitecture, without presenting an increase in impact resistance, and a high‐fat diet increases body fat and impairs bone mineralization.
