Figure 5

Forest plot for changes in LS BMD. Forest plot for point estimate standardized effect size changes (𝑔) in LS BMD. The black squares represent the standardized mean difference (𝑔) while the left and right extremes of the squares represent the corresponding 95% confidence intervals. The middle of the black diamond represents the overall standardized mean difference (𝑔) while the left and right extremes of the diamond represent the corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Negative results favor control groups while positive results favor exercise groups.
