About this trial
Those with osteoporosis often have weaker bones and this leads to higher chances of fractures. Therefore, the investigators want to evaluate the feasibility and safety of group exercise classes specifically designed for individuals with osteoporosis who had an osteoporotic fracture. By focusing on this high-risk population, the investigators want to see whether such exercise interventions can be an option for improving bone health, reducing the risk of future fractures, and enhancing physical function without compromising safety.
