Control/Exercise Training
At the start of the study, all participants were assigned to 1-month non-exercise control group. Measurements of bone formation markers, circulating osteoprogenitor cells and health-related quality of life were evaluated at the time of enrollment and after 1 month run-in. All study participants, assigned to 1-month non-exercise control group, were shifted into the exercise intervention group. Measurements of bone formation markers, circulating osteoprogenitor cells, physical fitness and health-related quality of life were evaluated after 3-months of high-impact exercise training.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline - Week 4

Health-related Quality of Life evaluated using the Quality of Life questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO). The score ranges from 0, corresponding to the best QoL, to 100, corresponding to the worst QoL. Total score is the average value of 5 sub scores, corresponding to pain, physical function, mental function, social function and general health perception.
