Condition
Osteoporosis
Intervention
Group 1: exercise training plus isoflavone placebo
Group 2: exercise training placebo (flexibility program) plus isoflavone therapy
Group 3: exercise training plus isoflavone therapy
Group 4: exercise training placebo plus isoflavone placebo
The exercise training intervention will consist of weight training combined with walking. The exercise training placebo will consist of home-based flexibility program (a type of training that has no effect on bone mineral). All participants will be required to fill out and return to the study staff daily activity logs throughout the study.
