Study to weigh the effect of exercise training on BONE quality and strength (SWEET BONE) in type 2 diabetes: study protocol for a randomised clinical trial
Introduction Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with an increased fracture risk despite normal-to-increased bone mineral density, suggesting reduced bone quality. Exercise may be effective in reducing fracture risk by ameliorating muscle dysfunction and reducing risk of fall, though it is unclear whether it can improve bone quality.
