Time-restricted eating and exercise for bone health
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining time-restricted eating (eating only during a set window of hours each day) with exercise can improve bone health in people with low bone density (osteopenia). It may help you strengthen your bones and reduce fracture risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 50 and 75 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 25 (you are considered overweight).

This trial tests whether combining resistance training with the drug rapamycin can improve bone formation in postmenopausal women who have lower-than-normal bone density but not osteoporosis. It aims to find a new way to strengthen bones and prevent fractures.
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 trial studies whether eating only during a shorter time window each day (time-restricted eating) can help older adults with high blood pressure. It explores a simple daily eating pattern to see if it lowers blood pressure and improves health.
This study tests whether eating only during certain hours of the day (time-restricted eating) combined with a supervised exercise program can improve health in older adults. It may help with weight management, energy, and overall well-being.
This trial studies whether doing a structured bone-focused exercise program, taking alendronate (a medication that slows bone loss), and making a calorie-reducing diet can improve bone strength in people with low bone density. It also compares different combinations to see what helps most and is safest for you.
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.
