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 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 looks at how bone strength (osteoporosis) and muscle mass (sarcopenia) are related in women who have passed menopause and are younger than 60. It aims to help understand and compare bone and muscle health in women with and without osteoporosis.
This study looks at how the natural aging of the body might affect how well bone-strengthening medications work for osteoporosis. If you are about to start one of these medications, the study will track your bone density over time to see how your response may differ based on your 'biological age.'
This study looks at whether a simple hopping exercise program can help strengthen bones in postmenopausal women with low bone density, and whether it works better when combined with osteoporosis medication. It's a two-year program comparing exercise plus medication, exercise alone, and medication alone to see which is most effective.
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.
This study looks at how well your blood vessels work and how strong your muscles are, in women after menopause with osteoporosis. You may be asked to start standard osteoporosis treatment, and the researchers will study pain and changes related to vascular function and sarcopenia (loss of muscle and strength).
