Background: Osteoporosisis a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone density that results in an increased susceptibility to fracture.Osteoporosis is a silent disease if not detected early, fractures may occur without warning because of reduced bone strength and increased load on the bone at a given time. Purpose of the study:To compare the effectiveness of aerobic exercise and progressive resisted exercise in

osteoporotic patients Methodology:A total of 28 osteoporotic male and female individuals were participated who met the inclusion & exclusion criteria and randomly divided into 2 groups where group-A received progressive resistive exercise and group- B received aerobic exercises. Exercise was given 3 days a week for six weeks. Outcome measure was BMD and SF-36 form as pre intervention and post intervention. Results:progressive resistive exercise and aerobic exercises both showed significant improvement in BMD & SF-36 conclusion:The conclusion of the study reveals that the aerobic exercises are more effective in comparison with progressive resisted

exercise
