The effects of exercise on the bone health of people with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionOverall, exercise regimens of studies included in this review appear to improve bone health at the hip and spine in people diagnosed with cancer. Sub-analyses suggest some influence of sex, where females had greater improvements in BMD compared to males. It is essential that future studies evaluate the dose –response of exercise training on bone health and create exercise protocols that better align with the laws of bone modelling to enhance osteogenic potential.
