Osteoporosis is a bone disease associated with reduced bone mineral density resulting in debilitating bone fractures. According to the National Institutes of Health Women's Health Initiative, effective interventions for bone loss need to be developed. The osteogenic stimulus provided by weight-bearing exercise indicates it is an important lifestyle factor that can be used for prevention of bone loss. Prospective research studies have documented that both aerobic exercise and weight training can be effective in the maintenance and building of bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. Additional benefits of weight training include increased muscular strength, coordination, and balance which could decrease risk for falling and subsequent fractures.
骨质疏松症是一种与骨矿物质密度降低相关的骨骼疾病，会导致使人衰弱的骨折。根据美国国立卫生研究院的女性健康倡议，需要开发有效的骨质流失干预措施。负重运动提供的成骨刺激表明，它是一种重要的生活方式因素，可用于预防骨质流失。前瞻性研究记录表明，有氧运动和力量训练都可以有效维持和增加绝经后女性的骨矿物质密度。力量训练的其他益处包括增强肌肉力量、协调性和平衡能力，这可以降低跌倒及随后骨折的风险。
