High-intensity interval training for bone health in older women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve bone health in women aged 60 to 74 with osteopenia (low bone density, but not osteoporosis). Participation involves supervised exercise sessions and bone density measurements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
