PowerTalk: Exercise for osteoporosis - Only the best will do

For many years, exercise was considered to be insufficient therapy for osteoporosis. A closer look revealed that the type of exercise typically applied did not reflect the principles of osteogenic loading due to a fear of causing fractures in a fragile population. In recent years, studies completed in the Beck lab at Griffith University have shown that exercise can indeed be powerful therapy for osteoporosis if applied correctly and with appropriate supervision.

This PowerTalk will provide the background for the development of the Onero program for osteoporosis and the evidence of effectiveness and safety in clinical practice.

• An increased awareness and knowledge of osteoporosis epidemiology and risk
• An understanding of the rationale and evidence behind targeted exercise therapy for osteoporosis
• Knowledge of the pathway to learn safe and effective exercise therapy for osteoporosis
