Exercise might be the most effective therapy of osteoporosis and thus an ideal vehicle to
prevent low-traumatic fractures. However, due to the multiple training aims involved (ie …

The prevention of osteoporotic fracture by exercise intervention requires a two-pronged
approach, that is, the maximization of bone strength and the minimization of falls. Intense …

Osteoporosis-related fractures represent a major health concern, particularly in elderly
populations. Direct and indirect costs (amounting to nearly $17 billion in 2005), increased …

A fracture occurs when the applied load is greater than the bone can withstand. Clinical
practice guidelines for the management of osteoporosis include recommendations for …

The use of exercise in maintaining bone health throughout the lifespan and ultimately
preventing osteoporosisrelated fractures has been the focus of considerable research. It is …

Physical activity and exercise are promoted as a nonpharmacological strategy to maintain or
enhance musculoskeletal health in adults and prevent osteoporotic fracture. Less clear is …

Regular exercise has effects on bone density, size, and shape, resulting in substantial
improvements in mechanical strength. The positive association between exercise and bone …

Osteoporosis, a manifestation of bone atrophy that leads to great susceptibility to fractures, is
a very important public health problem today because of its great morbidity, mortality and …

Osteogenic dynamic loads delivered to the skeleton during exercise prevent aging-
associated bone fragility. Moreover, because of its pleiotropic favourable effects on health …

The role of exercise in preventing osteoporotic fractures is vague, and further
recommendations for optimized exercise protocols are very rare. In the present work, we …
