Bone health exercise study for postmenopausal women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 55 and 75 years old.
- It has been more than 4 years since your last period or since a hysterectomy or ovary removal surgery.
- You have had a bone density test showing your hip or spine bone density is in the osteopenia range (T-score between -1 and -3).
- You are able to do hopping exercises without pain or injury.
- You do not currently do high-impact or strength exercises (like jogging or heavy weight lifting) more than once a week.
- If you are in the treatment group: you have been taking osteoporosis medication for at least 12 months and plan to keep taking it. If you are in the control group: you are not taking any bone-affecting medicine and do not plan to start.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or lower, and you have no major health issues, back or joint pain, or hip replacements that would make exercise unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two treatments for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women: a sequence of romosozumab followed by denosumab versus zoledronic acid alone. The goal is to see which approach better improves bone density in the hip. Participants will receive either the combination or the single drug for a period, and their progress will be monitored.
This study looks at how menopause affects muscle mass and quality in women who do not regularly do resistance exercise. It may help find ways to prevent age-related muscle loss.
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.
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).
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 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.
