The addition of exercise interventions, beyond what is provided to children, does not appear to improve DXA and pQCT measures of bone health.

Future trials should ensure adherence is clearly reported and controlled for within analysis as well as including reports of adverse events (e.g., apophysitis) that occur due to increased exercise interventions.
