What exercise considerations should be made during ADT?

• A. Include bone-loading exercises and balance exercises.
• B. Focus on flexibility only.
• C. Limit to low impact activity.
• D. Include only cardio training.

Answer: (A)

Bone-loading exercises and balance training address the major risks of ADT: bone loss and increased fall risk. Weight-bearing and resistance activities help stimulate bone density and preserve muscle, while balance work reduces the chances of falls and fractures. A program that includes these elements (along with appropriate cardiovascular activity) offers protection for bones and muscle, whereas stretching alone, low-impact only, or cardio-only approaches don’t adequately address these key needs during ADT.
