OsteoStrong® provides high-intensity progressive resistance training in a supervised setting, which may improve bone health in older adults with poor bone health. This pilot cohort study will primarily investigate the feasibility and safety of a 8-month exercise intervention undertaken by OsteoStrong® in 44 post-menopausal women with low BMD. The study will also determine if this intervention will result in significant improvements in BMD, bone quality, muscle composition and physical function. | Type: | Clinical trial | Registry ID: | ACTRN12620000224921p | URL: | https://www.anzctr.org.au/Trial/Registration/TrialReview.aspx?id=379245 |
