Ep. 81: Position Statement: Exercise guidelines for Osteoporosis Management and Fall Prevention in Osteoporosis Patients

A position statement provides the author(s) stance on a topic based on the sum of all the evidence of a debatable topic.

Osteoporosis treatment and management is not one-size-fits-all. Personal history, background, capacities and abilities of each person will differ, resulting in different approaches for combating or preventing bone loss. 

However, having a defined structure in place based on evidence and randomized controlled trials provides some insight on how to approach exercise for each person.

This episode dives into many important questions, such as: 

1. The effectiveness of resistance training for osteoporosis?
2. The type of resistance training that should be considered?
3. Are impact exercises effective for improving osteoporosis? 
4. How can impact exercises effectively be applied?

For each of these questions the authors have scoured the research databases to provide evidence in their support of using specific exercise to prevent or reverse osteoporosis. 

Alongside these data, I give my perspective on how to apply these to your training based on my nearly two decades of experience working with individuals who’s goal is to create stronger bodies and bones!
