Özet

Exercises are crucial for enhancing and maintaining bone and muscle health. ‘Preventative Strategies’ including certain exercises are fundamental in osteosarcopenia’s management. Determining the Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type are major elements of prescribing an effective exercise program for osteoporosis. Patients with osteoporosis may need modifications in exercise programs due to pain, kyphosis, poor balance, arthritis, frailty, neuromuscular impairments, and cardiovascular and/or pulmonary diseases. In addition, specific exercises for accompanying disorders should be given priority. Consequently, exercise recommendations for osteoporosis must be target-specific, safe, effective, and tailored to patients’ needs.
