<h4>Background</h4>Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common type of pediatric cancer. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia causes an altered bone mineral homeostasis state, which can contribute to osteopenia, and bone fractures, most commonly vertebral fractures. With the increasing number of childhood cancer survivors, late adverse effects such as musculoskeletal comorbidities are often reported and are further influenced by inactive lifestyle habits. Physical activity has been shown to increase the mechanical workload of the bone, mitigating bone impairment in other cancer-specific populations.<h4>Objective</h4>This interventional pilot study aims to investigate the use of telehealth to deliver a home-based exercise intervention for early-on survivors of bone marrow-related hematological malignancies and to assess its impact on survivors' musculoskeletal and functional health.<h4>Methods</h4>We aimed to recruit a group of 12 early-on survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, within 6 months to 5 years of treatment, to participate in and complete the proposed telehealth intervention with a parent. The 16-week intervention included 40 potential home-based physical activity interventions supervised by a kinesiologist through a telehealth internet platform, with monthly progression. Patients were recruited to the cohort if they were able to participate in the intervention during the first month (minimum 12 weeks of intervention). Evaluation before and after the intervention protocol highlighted differences in functional capacities and musculoskeletal health of patients using mechanography, peripheral quantitative computed tomography, 6-minute walk test, and grip force test.<h4>Results</h4>The recruitment rate for the intervention was low (12/57, 21% of contacted patients). Of 12 patients, 3 were excluded (1=relapse, 1=failure to meet technical requirements, and 1=abandoned). The 9 patients who completed the intervention (6 girls; mean age 10.93, SD 2.83 years; mean BMI 21.58, SD 6.55 kg/m<sup>2</sup>; mean time since treatment completion 36.67, SD 16.37 months) had a mean adherence of 89% and a completion rate of 75%. In addition, these patients showed functional improvements in lower limb muscle force and power as well as in the 6-minute walk test distance. Participants also showed improved bone health after the intervention on the following parameters: bone mineral content, stress-strain index, total and cortical cross-sectional area at the 14% site (P=.03, P=.01, P=.01, and P=.001, respectively) and 38% site of the tibia (P=.003, P=.04, P=.001, and P=.003, respectively).<h4>Conclusions</h4>High adherence and participation rates suggest that telehealth is a feasible method to deliver exercise interventions to young early-on survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The proposed intervention seems promising in providing benefits to patients' functional performance and bone health, but a large-scale study is needed to confirm this assumption.

<h4>Introduction</h4>The primary aim of the proposed study is to examine the efficacy of an 8-month supervised, high-intensity progressive resistance training and impact loading programme in comparison with a supervised machine-based isometric exercise training programme using the bioDensity system in older men with low bone mass. We will also determine the safety and acceptability of each exercise training mode. Intervention group responses will be compared with those of a self-selected, non-randomised control sample of sex-matched and age-matched men who will follow their usual lifestyle activities for 8 months.<h4>Methods and analysis</h4>Apparently healthy men over 50 years with low bone mass, screened for medical conditions and medications known to adversely affect bone health, will be recruited. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to 8 months of either exercise programme with block randomisation based on presence or absence of osteoporosis medications. A twice-weekly, 30-minute, supervised exercise programme will be conducted for both groups. The primary outcome will be change in femoral neck areal bone mineral density determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Secondary outcomes, assessed at baseline and 8 months, will include: DXA-derived whole-body, bilateral proximal femur and lumbar spine areal bone mineral density; proximal femur bone geometry and volumetric density extracted using three-dimensional hip analysis software; anthropometry; body composition; kyphosis; vertebral fracture assessment; physical function; safety (adverse events and injuries); and compliance. Intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses will be conducted.<h4>Discussion</h4>Whether a high-intensity, low-repetition progressive resistance training and impact loading programme or a machine-based isometric exercise programme can improve determinants of fracture risk, without causing injury, has not been examined in men. Determination of the efficacy, safety and acceptability of such programmes will facilitate formulation of future exercise guidelines for older men with low bone mass at risk of fragility fracture, a group who have previously been under-represented.<h4>Ethics and dissemination</h4>Participant confidentiality will be maintained with publication of results. The study has been granted ethical approval from the Griffith University Human Research Ethics Committee (Protocol number AHS/07/14/HREC).<h4>Trial registration number</h4>Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (www.anzctr.org.au)ANZCTR12616000344493; Pre-results.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to synthesize the current literature on the effects of bone-loading exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) in women after treatment of breast cancer (BC). Methods: PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), and Web of Science databases were searched through March 31, 2016. A combination of MeSH terms and key words was used: (physical therapy OR physiotherapy OR resistance training OR weight training OR aerobic OR exercise) AND (bone density OR osteoporosis) AND breast cancer. Search terms for PEDro were as follows: (breast cancer AND bone breast cancer) and (breast cancer AND osteoporosis). Studies included were experimental studies that compared any type of bone-loading exercise intervention with a comparison group and reported dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for assessment of BMD of the lumbar spine and/or proximal femur (femoral neck, trochanter, and/or total hip). Between-group BMD effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for each study (bone-loading exercise vs usual care/non–bone-loading exercise) and pooled across studies. Risk of bias in and across studies was addressed using the PEDro scale. Results: Five randomized controlled studies were included. Pooled effect sizes were statistically significant, favoring the bone-loading exercise group for proximal femur ( d = 0.15; 95% CI, 0.03-0.28) and for lumbar spine BMD ( d = 0.14; 95% CI, 0.01-0.27). Conclusion: Results provide modest evidence that bone-loading exercise interventions have statistically and clinically significant effects on proximal femur and lumbar spine BMD in women treated for BC. Further research is warranted to determine the most effective types and intensities of exercise for improving BMD in BC survivors.

Abstract In this paper, the bone tissue was modeled as a linear viscoelastic material saturated with interstitial fluid. We considered a specific case of harmonic loading and related the mechanical stimuli to the loading frequency. In this way, we could include the inertial effect in the model while not having to deal with the perturbation during each loading period. Two types of mechanical signals were considered: strain energy and dissipation energy. A parametric study revealed the dependency of the two signals on loading frequency and material property. The evolution of the apparent mass density supported the parametric study's findings. Under the three different frequency loadings, the strain energy-stimulated samples experienced identical remodeling scenarios. The samples stimulated with dissipation energy, on the other hand, exhibited a strong frequency dependence. An additional study was performed to investigate the effect of long-term variations in the loading frequency on the remodeling process. This demonstrated the model's capabilities in designing and evaluating load regimes for rehabilitation following a bone injury or bone reconstruction.
