Abstract
Exercises with moderate-to-high impact loads, more than twice bodyweight, which are progressive and multidirectional, are likely to be osteogenic for postmenopausal women.1 Studies show that sports and physical activities that involve high- or unusual-impact weight-bearing, often with rapid rates of loading (eg gymnastics, basketball, power lifting, ballet dancing), provide superior bone mass at specific loaded skeletal sites, compared to lower-impact or non-weight-bearing activities.
