Contribution of Recreational Exercises to Balance and Muscle Strength in Osteoporosis Risk

Participants were selected from among women who had previously been diagnosed with osteoporosis risk by a physician and who applied to the Isparta Merwellness Pilates gym for exercise. The study is planned as a randomized controlled prospective trial. Participants were assigned to three groups using a computer-generated random number table (n=20). Pilates Group: Mat Pilates was performed three days a week for 45 minutes. Swimming Group: Moderate-intensity swimming was performed 3 days a week for 40 minutes. Walking Group: Brisk walking was performed 3 days a week for 45 minutes.
