Summary
This study tests whether a supervised resistance exercise program can reduce the risk of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis in women aged 50-70 who have gone through menopause. Participants will do leg and core exercises twice a week for 30-40 minutes. Researchers will measure changes in bone density, cartilage, and muscle size to see if the program helps prevent these common age-related conditions.
