Purpose
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of two different group-based exercise programs on fall risk (muscular strength and balance) and bone strength in older women aged over 65-75 years who have low bone mass. We are also trying to determine if once a week exercise is as effective on health outcomes as twice a week. We hypothesize that twice a week exercise will be more effective than once a week or sham exercise.

| Official Title: | Exercise and Osteoporosis: A 12-Month Randomized Controlled Trial of Osteofit Strength and Balance Exercises Compared With a Stretch and Relaxation Program on Bone Strength and Falls Risk |
| Estimated Enrollment: | 165 |

This 12 month study will take place in a community center in Vancouver, BC and we plan to enroll 165 women. Women will be randomly assigned to one of three programs (55 women/group): the Osteofit Training Program once a week, Osteofit Training Program twice a week or the Stretch and Relax Program.
Osteofit Training (Either 1 or 2x/week). Each session of this program will be will 50 minutes and involves a series of stretching and strengthening exercises all of the major muscle groups of the upper and lower body. Stretch and Relax. Each session of this program will be will 50 minutes and involves a series of stretching exercises and relaxation techniques. Relaxation techniques will include visualization, breathing exercises, and contract-relax techniques.
At the beginning, middle and end of the study (baseline, 6 and 12 months), we will collect outcomes on fall risk, bone health, general fitness and quality of life.
