@mlwh From the info from all three resistance training is clearly the most important intervention along with jumping. I have tried a number of online programs since finding a trainer that specializes in osteoporosis issues difficult. I recommend looking at the Wellen program first which improves tendon and ligament strength and is a good starting point. Then investigate Hailey Happens. Excellent program that includes jumping and fast twitch work we need to prevent falls and resistance training.

@deborahnelson86 Thanks, I'll check this out. I am really happy with my current lifting program, but always looking to add and improve. And amazingly, I recently fell spectacularly at a physical. The lab had stools like bar stools, high, with a round hoop at the bottom to help you get up and down. I used it to get up, and forgot it was there when I slid off after the blood draw. Both my feet were inside the hoop, and I tried to walk away, but with my legs trapped I fell straight forward. I practice assisted pushups whenever I pass a bed, by just falling toward the bed and catching myself with my hands, and doing a set on the edge of the bed. Practice pays, and I was able to catch my body weight with my hands, and lower safely to the floor. You are totally right about fast twitch value in falls!! Will check out HaileyHappens for sure.
