Effect of different types of exercise on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Exercise is an effective means of mitigating bone mineral density (BMD) loss in PMW, but the relative effectiveness of different exercise types remains under investigation. Our study encompassed a thorough assessment and network meta-analysis, following the principles specified in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Network Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement.
