The Effectiveness Of Combined Exercise Interventions For Preventing Postmenopausal Bone Loss: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis

Combined exercise interventions (eg, resistance training, impact exercise, and dynamic aerobic activities) are effective in preserving postmenopausal women’s BMD at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip, and total body. These findings are clinically significant because the BMD increment effectively prevents postmenopausal bone loss and may reduce the risk of fracture. Combined exercise protocols can be recommended to improve postmenopausal women’s BMD.
