Circuit training for bone health after menopause
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program (circuit training) can improve bone density in women after menopause who have low bone mass. It may help strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 50 and 60 years old and have gone through menopause (no period for at least 12 months).
- Your bone density scan (T-score) shows osteopenia, which means your bones are thinner than normal but not yet osteoporosis.
- Your vitamin D level is low (between 30 and 50 nmol/L).
- You are not very active (sedentary lifestyle) but can walk on your own.
- You do not have serious health problems like heart, kidney, thyroid, or liver disease, or other conditions listed in the criteria.

This study looks at the link between bone density and muscle mass in women under 60 who have gone through menopause. It aims to understand how osteoporosis and muscle loss may be connected, even if you don't have osteoporosis.
This trial tests whether regular physical activity can help maintain bone density in women. It may be a good fit if you are a woman without a diagnosis of osteoporosis.
This trial compares dairy and plant-based drinks to see which is better for bone health when you also do resistance training. If you are a postmenopausal woman or a man 50 or older, you may join to help find out which drink helps bones most.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program helps people recover strength and prevent future fractures after breaking a bone due to osteoporosis. Participants will work with trainers on safe, gradual movement to rebuild bone health.
This trial compares two exercise routines—resistance training versus high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—to see which better improves calcium intake and vitamin D levels in women. You may be able to join if you are 40–45, have low vitamin D, and are not using hormone therapy.
This trial looks at how exercise, alone or with osteoporosis medication, affects bone health in women after menopause. It may help you find a safe way to strengthen your bones.
