The Science Behind ONERO®
ONERO® is supported by high-quality clinical research demonstrating improvements in bone density, strength, balance, posture, and functional performance.
Clinical Translation of ONERO® in Postmenopausal Women
This clinical study examined the first 12 months of the ONERO® program in postmenopausal women with low to very low bone density in a real-world clinical setting. Researchers found significant improvements in bone mineral density, muscle strength, posture, balance, and lean muscle mass, while participants also experienced fewer falls and excellent adherence to the program. The findings demonstrate that supervised ONERO® training is not only safe, but also an effective and practical approach to improving bone health and reducing fracture risk.
The MEDEX-OP Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial compared the ONERO® program to a low-intensity, Pilates-based exercise program in postmenopausal women with low bone density. Women who participated in ONERO® experienced greater improvements in hip bone strength, bone mineral density, and important measures of bone quality than those performing low-intensity exercise. The study also found that combining ONERO® with osteoporosis medication may provide even greater benefits for some women. These findings reinforce that appropriately supervised, high-intensity strength training is one of the most effective exercise approaches currently available for improving bone health and reducing fracture risk.
The LIFTMOR Randomized Controlled Trial
The LIFTMOR (Lifting Intervention For Training Muscle and Osteoporosis Rehabilitation) trial is the groundbreaking research that laid the foundation for the ONERO® program. In this randomized controlled trial, postmenopausal women with osteopenia and osteoporosis participated in a supervised, twice-weekly program of high-intensity resistance and impact training for eight months. Compared with a low-intensity home exercise program, participants experienced significant improvements in bone mineral density at the spine and hip, increased muscle strength, improved balance and physical function, and better overall mobility. The program was shown to be both safe and highly effective when performed under professional supervision, fundamentally changing the way exercise for osteoporosis is approached.
