What is the evidence for the effect of physical exercise on bone health in menopausal women? An umbrella systematic review

Finally, combined resistance protocols are effective in preserving BMD of the femoral neck and lumbar spine in postmenopausal women.PMID:37673101 | DOI:10.1080/13697137.2023.2249819
