Inactive adults experience a 3% to 8% loss of muscle mass per decade, accompanied by
resting metabolic rate reduction and fat accumulation. Ten weeks of resistance training may …

Background Osteoporosis is a condition resulting in an increased risk of skeletal fractures
due to a reduction in the density of bone tissue. Treatment of osteoporosis typically involves …

The human ageing process is universal, ubiquitous and inevitable. Every physiological
function is being continuously diminished. There is a range between two distinct phenotypes …

Optimal osteogenic mechanical loading requires the application of high‐magnitude strains
at high rates. High‐intensity resistance and impact training (HiRIT) applies such loads but is …

Physical exercise is able to improve skeletal health. However, the mechanisms are poorly
known. Irisin, a novel exercise-induced myokine, secreted by skeletal muscle in response to …

It is widely recognized that the risk of fractures is closely related to the typical decline in bone
mass during the ageing process in both women and men. Exercise has been reported as …

Weight-bearing physical activity has beneficial effects on bone health across the age
spectrum. Physical activities that generate relatively highintensity loading forces, such as …

In this sub-analysis of a comprehensive meta-analysis, we aimed to determine the effect of
different types of exercise on (areal) bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal …
