Some studies show that the most loss actually happen in "acute" stage of ADT treatment (initiation of ADT) :
"Men on acute ADT had a similar rate of bone loss to men on chronic ADT. Reversibility in ADT-induced bone loss was observed in those who discontinued ADT. Serum levels of PINP and CTX were higher in acute and chronic ADT users and levels returned to the range of PCa controls when treatment was withdrawn."
I think that it is wise to do all that one can do to prevent bone loss as soon as ADT starts.

@climateguy Impact loading is as easy as running down hill on a hard surface, or down a flight of stairs (make sure not to fall). The combination of gravity and velocity creates quite a force on the legs.
