About this study
Official title: The Effect of Exercise With or Without Antiresorptive Therapy, on Bone Properties in Postmenopausal Women With Low BMD - Randomised Controlled Unilateral Intervention Trial
Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disorder characterised by a reduced bone mass and structural deterioration, increasing the risk of fragility fractures, particularly in women post-menopause. Bone mass and structure can be assessed by scans.
Antiresorptive medications are commonly prescribed to reduce bone resorption, preventing further bone loss and thus reducing the possibility of fracture. Exercise can also benefit bone mass and structure but current evidence do not show whether exercise is more, or less, effective in combination with antiresorptive medication.
This study will compare the effect of a brief, home-based exercise programme on bone mineral and structural properties in women taking/ not taking antiresorptive medication.
Read the detailed description
Exercise can benefit bone density and induce structural changes, leading to a decrease in fracture risk. High-impact exercise is often recommended for promoting bone health as it generates the brief, high strains that stimulate bone adaptation. Brief multidirectional hopping exercises have been demonstrated to be a practical and sustainable intervention with older men, pre- and postmenopausal women. They allow exercise to be conducted on one leg, whilst changes in the other leg can be used as a control to compare what would happen without exercise.
The effects of exercise on bone density and structure may be different in women taking osteoporosis medication, but few studies have examined this group. This study thus aims to evaluate the effects of exercise on bone density and structure according to osteoporosis medication use.
The study will be a 12-month long randomised controlled trial including two groups: with and without antiresorptive osteoporosis medication for at least 12 months. Participants must not plan to change their treatment choices during the 12-month study. All participants will complete a 12-month unilateral hopping exercise intervention.
Screening and baseline measurements will include dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and computed tomography (CT) scans of the hip, blood collection, hop assessment and questionnaires. Eligible participants will then be invited to commence the exercise intervention and randomly allocated an exercise leg, with the contralateral leg being untrained to provide a control leg. Randomisation of exercise and control legs will be performed by selecting an opaque sealed envelopes which contain "R" or "L" letters. It is not possible to blind the participant or researchers supervising the intervention to leg allocation.
An initial familiarisation session will be conducted under supervision. The exercise intervention involves a home-based exercise programme starting at three days per week, with the goal of increasing to seven days per week. It will begin with a warm-up targeting the legs and lower back, followed by a progressive exercise regimen that will gradually increase in technique, intensity, and frequency to ensure safety. It will be personalised according to the participants' physical abilities and responses during or after the exercise. Weekly supervised group sessions will be offered, and used to advise participants on progression of exercise. An exercise logbook will monitor adherence. A questionnaire on any injuries, soreness, or discomfort will be administered monthly online or by phone. Participants will be instructed to reduce intensity and frequency or discontinue exercise if they experience any adverse symptoms or discomfort.
Follow-up measurements will be conducted six and twelve months after the start of the exercise intervention is completed. All measurements , except for the CT scan, will also be repeated after six months with each visit expected to last no more than two hours. whereas at twelve months, all measurements will be repeated. CT scans will take place at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester. All other visits will take place at Loughborough University.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
EXERCISE TRAININGBehavioural
The unilateral high-impact (hopping) exercise will be on one randomly allocated exercise leg, with the contralateral leg being untrained to provide a control leg. Each session will begin with a warm-up targeting the legs and lower back. The progressive exercise regimen consists of multidirectional hopping exercises that will gradually increase in technique, intensity, and frequency to ensure safety. It will be personalised according to the participants' physical abilities and responses during or after the exercise.
Antiresorptive medication (routine clinical care)Drug
Participants in this arm are already taking prescribed antiresorptive medication as part of standard clinical care. The study will not provide or modify the medication.

|---|---|---|
| Without any medication affecting bone | Experimental | Participants in this arm are postmenopausal women with low bone density who are not taking any bone medication for at least 12 months.

The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disorder characterised by a reduced bone mass and structural deterioration, increasing the risk of fragility fractures, particularly in women post-menopause. Bone mass and structure can be assessed by scans.
Antiresorptive medications are commonly prescribed to reduce bone resorption, preventing further bone loss and thus reducing the possibility of fracture. Exercise can also benefit bone mass and structure but current evidence do not show whether exercise is more, or less, effective in combination with antiresorptive medication.
This study will compare the effect of a brief, home-based exercise programme on bone mineral and structural properties in women taking/ not taking antiresorptive medication.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing EXERCISE TRAINING and Antiresorptive medication (routine clinical care) in people with Osteoporosis in Post-menopausal Women, run by Loughborough University at 1 site in United Kingdom.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Nora Alohaly, PhD (+441509226207, n.alohaly@lboro.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Femoral neck bone mineral content BMC (time frame: Baseline, 6 months and 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Dec 2025.
