Interventions
Group 1: Usual Care prevention protocol according to § 20 SGB IX: Two periods of 10 weeks of supervised conventional group exercise once a week for 60 min. (i.e. predominately resistance-type) with
however during the intermittent rest periods, 2 home-trainings sessions (video-guided, see study arm 2) and 2 WBV-sessions with 15 min were performed.
Intervention 12 months.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at lumbar spine (LS) and hip; Appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM); BMD at LS and hip via regional DXA-scan at baseline and after 12 months; ASMM via DXA-total body scan at baseline, after 6 and 12 months; | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Total and regional fat and fat free mass (DXA); cross sectional area and density of the medial thigh (computed tomography: CT); maximum strength (isokinetic assessment); functional capacity (e.g. balance tests, gait speed); endurance (time under load, VO2max); pain intensity and frequency at different skeletal sites (lower back, big joints via standardized questionnaire). | — |
