Official title
Community Osteoporosis Exercise Class for People Post Fracture
Overview
Those with osteoporosis often have weaker bones and this leads to higher chances of fractures. Therefore, the investigators want to evaluate the feasibility and safety of group exercise classes specifically designed for individuals with osteoporosis who had an osteoporotic fracture. By focusing on this high-risk population, the investigators want to see whether such exercise interventions can be an option for improving bone health, reducing the risk of future fractures, and enhancing physical function without compromising safety.
Interventions
- Other Exercise Program
Participants complete a 12-week, twice weekly, whole body group exercise program. Participants will also complete qualitative interviews and DXA bone scans.
Primary outcome measures
- Recruitment Feasibility [Time frame: Assessed over 12 months]
- Retention Feasibility [Time frame: Assessed at 12 weeks]
- Exercise Class Adherence [Time frame: Assessed over the 12-week intervention period]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Program Acceptability [Time frame: Assessed at 12 weeks]
- Intervention Safety [Time frame: Assessed throughout the 12-week intervention period]
