This study was sought to explore habitual walking speed and other health-related outcomes after cessation of a 3-month exercise intervention. Researchers carried out a follow-up study performing 3 months post-intervention of a randomized controlled trial. They randomized a sum of 149 community-dwelling Norwegian women aged 65 years or older, diagnosed with osteoporosis and vertebral fracture into either exercise or control group. They examined data according to the intention-to-treat principle, linear mixed regression models were applied. The data exhibit the improved impacts of a multicomponent exercise programme on outcomes like muscle strength, balance and mobility as well as fear of falling in a group of older women with osteoporosis and vertebral fracture 3 months post-intervention.
