Our findings show that, in post-menopausal women with low bone mass, neuromuscular power is a more important determinant of postural control than muscle strength or size. Our findings provide evidence to support the integration of power or speed training into falls prevention and balance training programs in post-menopausal women with osteopenia and osteoporosis.
