| Dawn Skelton, Ellen Freiberger Physical Activity and Exercise This workshop will interactively explore the differences between physical activity and exercise on outcomes of strength, power, bone and balance. The Workshop will target the following questions: • What are the components of exercise needed to support rehabilitation of those in frailty, with sarcopenia and with osteoporosis? • What are the key needs regarding intensity and dose with regard to safety and positive outcomes? • What do we still need to know and what are the key research gaps or population groups? • How do we help reduce sedentary behaviour and inactivity and get people on their activity journey?
