TL;DR
Weight bearing endurance activity such as brisk walking or jogging, the kind of exercise which has reduced coronary heart disease risk factors, has been evaluated for effect on bone and definitions are needed as the word 'exercise' encompasses a wide range of activities.

JAMAEffects of High-Intensity Strength Training on Multiple Risk Factors for Osteoporotic Fractures
966 Citations1994Miriam E. Nelson
High-intensity strength training exercises are an effective and feasible means to preserve bone density while improving muscle mass, strength, and balance in postmenopausal women.
Annals of Internal MedicineWeight-Bearing Exercise Training and Lumbar Bone Mineral Content in Postmenopausal Women
747 Citations1988G. P. Dalsky, KAREN S. STOCKE +4 more
Weight-bearing exercise led to significant increases above baseline in bone mineral content which were maintained with continued training in older, postmenopausal women, and with reduced weight- bearing exercise, bone mass reverted to baseline levels.
Journal of BiomechanicsFunctional strain in bone tissue as an objective, and controlling stimulus for adaptive bone remodelling
446 Citations1987Lance E. Lanyon
Recent investigations have extended to the immediate effects of dynamic strains on the structure of the bone matrix, and the biochemical behaviour of the resident bone cells, to reveal the mechanism by which strains within the matrix are transduced into the biochemical signals by which adaptive remodelling is controlled.
Clinical SciencePhysical Exercise as Prophylaxis against Involutional Vertebral Bone Loss: A Controlled Trial
429 Citations1983B. Krølner, B Toft +2 more
The data suggest that physical exercise can inhibit or reverse the involutional bone loss from the lumbar vertebrae in normal women, and may prevent spinal osteoporosis.
Journal of Bone and Mineral ResearchEffects of resistance and endurance exercise on bone mineral status of young women: A randomized exercise intervention trial
385 Citations1992Christine Snow-Harter, Mary Bouxsein +3 more
It is demonstrated that 8 months of supervised progressive training in either running or resistance exercise modestly increases lumbar spine mineral in young women.
BMJEffect of two randomised exercise programmes on bone mass of healthy postmenopausal women.
318 Citations1987R. Chow, Joan E. Harrison +1 more
It is suggested that exercise may modify bone loss in healthy postmenopausal women by showing a significant improvement in maximum oxygen uptake.
BMJDietary calcium, physical activity, and risk of hip fracture: a prospective study.
284 Citations1989C Wickham, Kerryann Walsh +5 more
Reduced intake of dietary calcium does not seem to be a risk factor for hip fracture and further evidence is provided that physical activity in the elderly protects against hip fracture.
Osteoporosis InternationalIncrease in femoral bone density in young women following high-impact exercise
279 Citations1994E. J. Bassey, S. J. Ramsdale
Bone density was assessed blind using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at the femur, Ward's triangle and trochanter and at the lumbar spine on entry into the study and again after 6 months and 12 months.
American Journal of EpidemiologyTHE ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND ITS RELATION TO ADULT BONE PARAMETERS
272 Citations1988Andrea M. Kriska, Rivka Black Sandler +4 more
A significant relation was found to exist between historical physical activity and dimensions of adult bone, particularly bone area, in a group of 223 postmenopausal women participating in a clinical trial in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from 1981 to 1986 by evaluating the effect of moderate physical activity on bone loss.
BMJStrategies for prevention of osteoporosis and hip fracture.
264 Citations1991M R Law, Nicholas Wald +1 more
On the basis of the present incidence, almost one women in four living to the age of 90 in England can expect to have a hip fracture.
BoneBrisk walking does not stop bone loss in postmenopausal women
238 Citations1988Daniel J. Cavanaugh, Christopher E. Cann
It is shown that a moderate brisk walking program of one year duration does not prevent the loss of spinal bone density in early-postmenopausal women.
Calcified Tissue InternationalThe effects of walking at the anaerobic threshold level on vertebral bone loss in postmenopausal women
211 Citations1993MASAKO HATORI, Akira Hasegawa +6 more
It is concluded that short-term exercise with intensity above the AT is safe and effective in preventing postmenopausal bone loss.
Journal of Bone and Mineral ResearchEffects of weight lifting on bone mineral density in premenopausal women
211 Citations1990Peggy Gleeson, Elizabeth J. Protas +3 more
Data collection included bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, os calcis with single‐photon absorptiometry, lean body mass, urinary calcium/creatinine, and urinary gammacarboxyglutamic acid (Gla).
Journal of Bone and Mineral ResearchWeight-training effects on bone mineral density in early postmenopausal women
209 Citations1992Leslie A. Pruitt, Rebecca D. Jackson +2 more
It is concluded that weight training may be a useful exercise modality for maintaining lumbar BMD in early postmenopausal women.
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsEfficacy of Nonloading Exercises in Prevention of Vertebral Bone Loss in Postmenopausal Women: A Controlled Trial
184 Citations1989Mehrsheed Sinaki, Heinz W. Wahner +2 more
It is concluded that post menopausal bone loss is unaffected by a modest exercise program despite an increase in muscle strength, and nonloading muscle exercise may be ineffective in retarding vertebral bone loss in ambulatory, healthy postmenopausal women.
Bone and MineralInduction of bone formation in rat tail vertebrae by mechanical loading
157 Citations1993Timothy Chambers, M. Evans +3 more
In the rat, as in avian species, short loading regimes are capable of inducing bone formation, and the model may assist an analysis of the interactions between bone resorption, bone formation and mechanical stimuli, and may enable identification of the molecular signals that mediate induction of lamellar bone formation on trabecular surfaces.
Journal of Bone and Mineral ResearchEffects of aerobic training on bone mineral density of postmenopausal women
138 Citations1993Daniel Martín, Morris Notelovitz
12 months of aerobic exercise training attenuated lumbar BMD loss in women who were ≤ 6 years of the onset of the menopause, and none of the forearm BMD changes in the recently menopausal subset were significant.
