Clinicians have been taught to screen for osteoporosis in patients, but too often patients and clinicians don't understand how to evaluate and prescribe the most powerful longevity intervention at our disposal, EXERCISE. This presentation will highlight the decades of research showing the benefits that exercise has to almost every organ system in our body. Key principles involving aerobic capacity, interval training, strength/power, balance, and stability will be discussed both in assessment and prescriptive details. Myths will be busted and your ability to help your patients regardless if they are in their 30s or 80s will be improved.
