Healthy volunteers: 1
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 194

Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of the OsteoStrong training method and the Individually Adapted and Combined Training on the bone health of older women with high fracture risk. Additionally, the aim is also to explore the participants' experiences of each training method.Participants will be randomised to either treatment arm A (OsteoStrong) or treatment arm B (Individually Adapted and Combined Training). Participants in both groups will train for nine months. Treatment arm A will train individually once a week and treatment arm B will train in a group twice a week. Both groups will have a training instructor who will supervise and give training instructions.Researchers will compare the groups to see the effects of the training methods on the participants' bone health among other outcome measures. The participants will be tested at baseline and post-intervention (9 months later).
