The Role of Exercise in the Prevention and Management of Osteoporosis

Exercise is very important in the prevention of osteoporosis and in reducing the risk of falls and fractures, but not all forms of exercise are equally effective. This webinar will provide an overview of the latest research about the best form and amount of exercise that can improve bone health and muscle function to reduce the risk of osteoporosis, falls and fractures.

This was an incredibly thorough & helpful talk. I've been doing a deep dive into hypertrophy/strength/power training as well as functional training off & on over the past few decades. Triggered not just from my own general curiosity, but my own serious chronic illness, caregiving for disabled family & teaching dance to older adults. This is fantastic information that accords with all my hard-won knowledge. Beautiful. Thank you again.

This talk is THE most useful I have heard on the internet (or anywhere else)! My doctor had NO idea what to offer besides drugs. Very disappointing. Also there are so many people on the internet who believe they are doing everything they can to regrow bone but sadly, only specific exercises with increasing difficulty actually help. I’m gonna go jump now. But will watch & rewatch this.

1 question I have re: strength training. I understand I need to increase the weight over time but after 2 mos of lifting, my 2 sets of 12 reps 3x/week with 5 lbs each hand, are still really hard. I shake & can barely finish my reps. Lunges too are very hard. Why don’t I seem to be getting stronger? Thank you!
