Author : Nosipho Mdluli

Abstract :Background: Taiwan is experiencing rapid population aging, with osteoporosis affecting a significant proportion of individuals over 50—38.3% of women and 23.9% of men, according to the National Nutrition Survey (2005–2008). Effective prevention and management strategies are crucial. Studies have demonstrated that resistance training enhances daily activities, improves physical functions, and reduces exercise-related injuries, thereby lowering fracture risks. With increasing demands on healthcare resources and a shift toward home-based care, implementing resistance exercises at home is essential to improving patients’ quality of life and reducing healthcare dependence. Objectives: This study investigates the effects of resistance exercise training on daily activities and physical functions in osteoporosis patients compared to those who do not engage in such training. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted across four electronic databases. The study applied the PICOT framework, where: • P (Population) includes patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. • (Intervention) involves resistance training exercises
