Home workouts may boost bones in women at risk of osteoporosis
NCT ID NCT07267325
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a short, home-based exercise program can improve bone strength in postmenopausal women with low bone density. It will compare women who are already taking bone-strengthening medication with those who are not. The goal is to see if exercise adds extra benefit to medication or works well on its own.

Inclusion Criteria: * Women aged 55-75 years old * \>4y since menopause/hysterectomy/oophorectomy. * Baseline femoral neck or lumber spine BMD T-score between -1 and -3. * Able to complete the hopping exercises. * Have no regular involvement for more than once/week in: 1. Strength, powerlifting or high load resistance exercise. 2. High to moderate impact exercise that known to involve ground reaction forces 2 to 4 times greater than body weight (e.g. Jogging). * Treatment group: taking antiresorptive treatment for osteoporosis continuously for at least 12 months, and who intend to continue this medication for the rest of the study. * Control group: not taking any medication affecting bone and no intention to commence such medication for the rest of the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Body mass index (BMI) \>35 kg/m2 * Any medical condition, surgery, or injuries that contraindicate exercises including lower limb or back pain, knee or hip osteoarthritis. * Vertebral fracture or multiple low trauma fractures (recent expert consensus recommends lower impact exercise for these groups) * Replacement of hip joint(s)
