A 16-week home-based, impact exercise was feasible and may be effective in improving femoral neck areal BMD, total hip and distal tibial vBMD and physical function in postmenopausal women. Appropriately designed randomised controlled trials are now required to determine whether such interventions can reduce fracture risk in older populations.
