Deep dives
Good Bone Health Through Strength and Balance Training
Strength and balance training have been shown to significantly reduce fracture rates in older adults. Seven randomized controlled trials indicated that this training can cut fracture rates by nearly half, with a 74% fracture reduction in the five years post-study. This approach is more effective than osteoporosis drugs like Fosamax, which can lead to serious side effects like atypical femoral fractures.
