Elite athletes offering bone building tips for fracture prevention on World osteoporosis Day 2008.
Representatives from Australia’s sporting and medical arenas joined forces with the Federal Minister for Ageing, The Hon. Justine Elliott MP on 21 October (World Osteoporosis Day) to release two new Exercise and Fracture Prevention Guides designed to build strong, healthy bones. The elite athletes – Jane Saville, Craig Foster, Wally Masur and Tatiana Grigorieva – revealed some of their individual secrets for building powerful bones in order to help prevent fractures.
The Exercise and Fracture Prevention Guides, developed by Osteoporosis Australia in conjunction with Geriatrician and John Sutton Chair of Exercise and Sport Science, University of Sydney, Professor Maria Fiatarone Singh, are designed to inform Australians about preventing fractures through a combination of exercise, a healthy diet and medication when required.
The Exercise and Fracture Prevention Guides which include a DVD and an illustrative brochure are available from Arthritis ACT for $12.
