Exercise Group
Exercise Group: Subjects in the intervention group must participate in a training course consisted of 24 sessions over 3 months. The exercises include aerobic, stretching, balance and functional training, i.e. circuit exercises focus been on: the prevention of falls and fractures, improving balance and coordination, improving posture, and informing subjects about risk factors for falls and for osteoporosis and fractures. A 3-hour session of information and supervision will be hold for the intervention group by the same physiotherapist who leads the training sessions. The focus is on body awareness and ergonomic advice in specific, daily-life situations (e.g. lifting/carrying, resting positions). The intervention is in accordance with Rehabilitation treatment guidelines in postmenupausal and senile osteoporosis ( Bonaiuti et al. 2005).

The maximum distance in centimetres that can be reached forward in a standing position while maintaining a fixed base of support. Subjects will be instructed to stand sideways against a wall in a natural position and stretch one arm forward level with the shoulder. The position of the third metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint was taken as the zero point. With the body tilted forward as far as possible, the subjects continued to stretch the arm parallel to the ground. Amount of cm indicate better balance.

Quality of Life Questionnaire issued by the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO-41), is a disease-specific questionnaire to be used by patients with vertebral fractures attributed to osteoporosis. QUALEFFO-41 is self-administered and contains questions in five domains: pain, ability to perform physical functions, social functioning, general health perception and mental performance. These five domains can be evaluated individually or be represented in a total score. All scores in all the domains are expressed in values ranging from 0-100, where 0 represents the best and 100 the worst. The total QALEFFO score is calculated as a sum of all answers to items and then linearly transformed on the scale 0-100. High scores indicate poor quality of life.

GHQ-20 is a generic instrument and registers distress and psychopathology. GHQ-20 is self-administered and the answers to each item may be treated as a "Likert Scale" and have weights assigned to each position (0-1-2-3) where 0 is no distress, and 3 is severe distress. This gives a possible range for the total GHQ-20 score of 0-60. Higher scores indicating poor qol.

A 16- item self report or interview- based questionnaire assessing the fear of falling during basic and more demanding activities of daily living (Yardley et al. 2005). Each item is scored on a four point scale. Minimun score indicating low concern about falling is 16. The maximun score indication high concern about falling is 64.
