abstract: Osteoporotic changes are one of most frequent causes of compliant in both female and male older populations. Former female athletes have an even higher incidence due to greater risk factors. Frequency and risk of damage in the musculoskeletal system for older athletes and a complete analysis of therapeutic effects are covered. An emphasis is given to the significance of a rational daily regimen and exercise. Examinations of 405 patients with these troubles were carried out over a period of twelve months.
