Re: Recovery from a femur fracture

Thank you muchly.

I heard a talk by Fiatrone-Singh some years ago about something similar but can't find their research (may not be on medline). They found a number of things but interestingly, strength training (not matter the weight but must be 80% of 10RM or something like it) x5/week has an effect equal to antidepressants.

Thanks again...
