Resistance training as well as creatine supplementation may increase bone mass. Therefore, the investigators speculate that resistance training combined with creatine supplementation would promote additive benefits on bone mass in elderly women with osteopenia and osteoporosis.
1,640 studies on the registry are indexed under Osteoporosis; 212 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 60 is below the median of 95 across 1,133 interventional studies indexed under Osteoporosis.
