A comparison of different exercise intensities for improving bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to compare the effects of moderate- and high-intensity resistance and impact training (MiRIT and HiRIT, respectively) on changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Methods

Randomized controlled trials that compared the intervention effects of MiRIT and HiRIT were used as selection criteria to assess study patients with osteoporosis or an osteoporotic condition. Database searches were conducted on August 25, 2022, using CENTRAL, PubMed, CINAHL Web of Science, EMBASE, and MEDLINE. A risk of bias assessment was performed using Revised Cochrane risk of bias tool for the assessment of randomized controlled trials. Point estimates and 95 % confidence intervals of change in BMD derived using dual-energy X-ray absorpti
