Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Are your exercise recommendations for osteoporosis patients off-base? At least one expert believes that the vast majority of clinicians are giving bad advice with regards to exercise, noting that the typical recommendations, focusing on weight-bearing exercise, are simply unrealistic for most people at risk for the bone-thinning disease. Instead, why not consider a more tolerable and less time-consuming program of site-specific resistive exercise? It may not have as much impact on bone formation, but research suggests a modest program can provide valuable fracture-prevention benefits.
