The BEST Exercise Program for Osteoporosis Prevention

Bone Health

CPAN is a leader in bone health research and translation of this research into clinical practice guidelines. Most recently, this is exemplified by the development of the The BEST Exercise Program for Osteoporosis Prevention, derived from research investigating the effects of exercise on bone health.  In the community arena, this research has become the foundation for the Bone Builders Osteoporosis Prevention Education Program, a Cooperative Extension program that has helped increase community members' knowledge of osteoporosis and its risk factors by a documented 80%.
