Abstract

Physical activity promotes in creases in bone mineral density or reductions in bone loss in young, premenopausal, and postmenopausal women, making exercise a key strategy for preventing and treating osteoporosis. Alongside weight-bearing exercise and resistance training, treatment may also include therapy with estrogen, alendronate, or calcitonin, adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, and measures to prevent falls.
